Soil contamination is the presence of chemical compounds made by man or other alteration to the natural soil environment.This contamination generally appears to result in breakage of underground storage tanks, application of pesticides, leaks from landfills or direct accumulation of industrial products.The
dreadful common chemicals including petroleum products, solvents, pesticides and other heavy metals. This phenomenon is closely related to the degree of industrialization and intensity of chemical use.Regarding soil contamination risk was primarily health, directly and in contact with potable water sources. The delineation of contaminated areas and the resulting cleanup tasks that are time and money consuming, requiring extensive skills in geology, hydrography, chemistry and computer models.

Air Contamination


Air Contamination

One of the most serious problems that we have in the world is the air contamination because the air is essential for our life.
I think that we can do a lot of things to improve the air we breathe all.
In Ecuador, one of the most important problem that causes a high degree of air pollution are the bad conditions of the cars that a lot of people have and didn’t care about this problem.
Many people drive in the city in cars that pollute a lot: the people do not realize this.
I think that the government must have to do something because our planet is coming down.

The air we breathe is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.093% argon and a portion of steam or air, when we talk about air pollution, we refer to the alteration of this composition, produced by natural causes caused by man, the first can not be avoided, but the second is our obligation to avoid them.
The more we contaminate; the less pure air we are going to have to breathe.

River Contamination

River Contamination

Contamination is a terrible problem around the world, water pollution too.
Water pollution all around the world is a topic known by everybody, but nobody is doing anything serious to stop it. A few foundations like NATURA is trying to prevent more contamination in our country, but people don’t make a real effort to give a hand to this projects; it’s very disappointing if that there are just a few of this kind of foundations. Pitifully the earth will not endure for ever.
What is water pollution?
Incorporation of foreign matter into the water, such as microorganisms, chemicals, industrial waste and other types, or sewage. These substances impair water quality and make it useless for the intended uses.
Why is water contaminated?The water is polluted because of human activity, since man multiplies and needs more and more food, more water, clothing, transportation, medicine, entertainment. The burden on the biosphere and increases occur:
· Emission of toxic gases;
· Pollution from pesticides, metals, sewage;
· Accidents such as oil spills;
· Discharge of chemical waste and radioactive material;
· Decline of Freshwater maps and deeper

All pure water comes from rain, sometimes before reaching the ground gets its first pollutant load, which dissolve substances such as oxides of sulfur and nitrogen that make acid rain. Once on the ground, the water flows over the surface and infiltrates into underground layers. Is water runoff, which in the layers and farm pesticide loads of excess nutrients and in the cities carries oil products such as water, heavy metals and gasoline. The point is the pollution coming from point sources is controllable by treatment plants. But any control measures would be effective if not accompanied by provisions designed to reduce waste and recycle everything we can, that seepage water passing through municipal and industrial landfills contaminate aquifers that supply drinking water to millions.
We are facing a new challenge. The lakes and rivers may become a desert never expected. Man must respect nature, to live in harmony, meet their needs without neglecting those of future generations. Pollution, over-predation and lead to poverty and hunger. But not all is negative with respect to pollution of lakes and rivers. In the last twenty years have established many international agreements with the overriding goal of reducing water pollution, and there are already concrete achievements. However, we must be clear that time is short and that is everyone’s responsibility.
Polluting the enviroment, we will only make that the world ends soon.

Contamination and Pollution



The pollution is an alteration in the composition of the atmosphere: all those foreign materials and some non-strangers start or increase their concentration causing environmental damage.
Because the whole air is not the only problem, because the water pollution is also a porblem, because the world is damage, those are the consecuences of contamination. All the pollutants come from a particular source and can cause respiratory and digestive diseases. It is necessary for human society aware of the problem.
The measures that the people have to take about pollution are:
· Creating public awareness
· We have to sow trees and we have to educate to our children that they don´t have to cut the plants.
· We have to regulate the urban sanitation service.
· The government can control the use of fertilizers and pesticides.
· The government also can control the accidental oil spills.
· We can avoid the use of aerosols. And finally the most important thing is to create a sense of responsibility.

My Favorite Singer


My favorite Singer
Since I was little, I always liked the music, in especial the ¨Trova¨ music that is a typical rhythm that is abundant in many regions. Each region expresses with this music their region sentires.
La Trova is one of the most interesting facets of Cuban music, of which Silvio Rodriguez is the greatest exponent.
I like a lot Silvio Rodriguez, but for me the music of Luis Eduardo Aute is my favorite because it represents for me something very important because since childhood I have always listened this genre and this special singer.
Luis Eduardo Aute (Manila, 1943) belongs to a generation of artists who enrich the second half of the twentieth century and continue to ennobling this century.
I like this singer because is an inheritance from my sister, because she y older and always put my Aute lyrics in her room and I memorized his songs and later I realize that I love his music.
I had the opportunity to see Luis Eduardo Aute in Argentina. It was a beautiful experience.I think it's one of the most important singers of Spain and I believe it is my favorite singer.
One of his songs that shock me most is ¨Yo te quiero con alevosia¨, it is a song that Aute dedicates to his wife because for him, she is the greatest love that he has.

The Galapagos’s Islands


The Galapagos’s Islands

The Galapagos Islands are an archipelago located in the Pacific Ocean to 972 miles off the coast of Ecuador. Politically they are a province of this country, whose capital is Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The Islands have 13 large volcanic islands, 6 smaller islands and 107 rocks and islets, which are distributed around the earth line of Ecuador.
It is estimated that the formation of the first island took place more than 5 million years, as a result of tectonic activity. The most recent islands, called Isabela and Fernandina, are still in formation, having recorded the most recent volcanic eruption in 2009
The Galapagos Islands are famous for its numerous endemic species and the studies of Charles Darwin that led him to establish his theory of evolution by natural selection.On February 12, 1832 under President Juan José Flores, the Galapagos are attached to Ecuador. Since February 18, 1973 a province of this country
The Galapagos were declared a national park in 1959, protecting 97.5% of the land area of the archipelago.
In 1986, the sea surrounding the islands were declared a marine reserve. Galapagos included in Unesco list of World Heritage in 1978 and in December 2001 expanded this statement to the marine reserve.
