Hi bloggers! here is a poster that we made with the fotowall program to complain about the poverty and social exclusion:

EUROPEAN UNION CRISIS

 Eurozone crisis 

The Eurozone crisis resulted from a combination of complex factors, including the globalisation of finance.

BBC News - In graphics: Eurozone crisis

In this new you have a very good graph and explanation about it.

http://www.eurozone.europa.eu/euro-area/topics/the-eus-response-to-the-crisis/

In response to the crisis the member states, the euro area and the European Union as a whole have taken a broad range of measures to ensure financial stability, support growth and employment and improve economic governance.

The crisis in European Union

Crisis is the situation of a complex system (family, economy, society) when the system functions poorly, an immediate decision is necessary, but the causes of the dysfunction are not known.

And as we know Spain is one of the most affected one, the unemployed rate  increases gradually... 

The other day we were speaking about this topic in the class, and we started with it because we are going to do a project as you could see later.

In the first days of the 2nd term we were discusing about the extension, the population, the DGP and the energy of the countries of the world: our class was the world, the tables and chairs were the continents, we were the population, the money that each continent have were fotocopies of dolars $ and the energy that each continet consume were biscuits that we ate later!!!! ;P

Here you have a table wich shows all the information:

%	Extension	Population	DGP	Energy
Asia	30	60	38	8
Africa	20	14,5	4	3
North- america	16	8	24	50
South-America	12	6	7	10
Europa	7	11	26	27
Oceania	6	0,5	1	2

GREENPEACE

GREENPEACE

Greenpeace is a non-governmental environmental organization with offices in over forty countries and with an international coordinating body in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The objective of the environmental NGO is to protect and defend the environment, speaking in different parts of the world where there are committed terrorist attacks against Nature. Greenpeace runs campaigns to stop climate change, protect biodiversity, for the non-use of GMOs, reduce pollution, end the use of nuclear energy and weapons. Besides protecting forests and natural landscapes.

The environmental movement was born in 1971 when a group of American anti-nuclear activists

formed a small organization called Do not Make a Wave Committee (the Committee a Tsunami not provoke) to prevent the United States carried out a second nuclear test on Amchitka Archipelago (Alaska).

Although there were many people involved in one way or another in the various initial stages, the key people from the outset were Dorothy and Irving Stowe, Marie and Jim Bohlen, Ben and Dorothy Metcalfe, and Bob Hunter. The first board is formed by Stowe, Bohlen and future Olympic medalist yachtsman Paul Côté.

Greenpeace is present in five continents, but with little presence in Africa, limited to working with social organizations and local communities affected by pollution from toxic waste, over-fishing, illegal logging and climate change.

Do you know that what you are wearing at the moment has been

made by really toxic materials? How does it affect to the enviroment? In fact, Greenpeace has started to contribuit to stop the production of clothing with these materials in 2014: British luxury brand Burberry made a commitment to eliminate the use of hazardous chemicals from its supply chain by 1 January 2020. Burberry's move comes after just two weeks of people-powered campaigning on the brand's social media channels, reaching an audience of millions, while Greenpeace volunteers held protests at stores from Beijing to Mexico City. Burberry joins 18 big brands like Zara, Valentino and H&M who have committed to Detox their clothes and manufacturing processes.

AMAZONE

The Amazon is a vast and majestic rainforest teeming with an estimated quarter of all known land species. The jaguar, the pink river dolphin, the sloth, the world's largest flower, a monkey the size of a toothbrush and a spider the size of a baseball are just a few of the species that we know about - there are many more yet to be discovered.

It is also home to over 20 million people including hundreds of indigenous peoples, some of which have never been contacted by the ‘outside world’.
And finally, the Amazon stores 80 to 120 billion tonnes of carbon, helping to stabilise the planet's climate.

However, we are destroying it with deforestation...

POLAR OCEANS

The Arctic and the Antarctic, two of the greatest wilderness areas on Earth with ecosystems vital to the functioning of our planet, are under assault from the impacts of rapidly accelerating climate change, industrialization, and the unchecked consumption of our planet's resources.

The poles are indicators of the planet's health and provide early warning that we are compromising the Earth´s ability to sustain life as we know it.  It is already too late to avoid profound negative changes at the poles, but we can limit the damage by establishing boundaries that stop the commercial fishing fleets and the oil and gas industries from plundering and polluting these already damaged ecosystems.

Greenpeace exists because this fragile earth deserves a voice. It needs solutions. It needs change. It needs action.
