Simplemente con hacer una búsqueda en Internet, por más discreta que sea, encontrarás los consejos e información básica para vivir una vida más "green", desde cómo convertirte en activista, hasta aprender a leer las etiquetas de los alimentos y a investigar qué tan verdes son los productos que consumimos. Seguramente algunos ya lo habrán hecho y, de esa forma o porque ya tienen una conciencia ecológica pre-formada, habrán hecho votos para llevar una vida más en armonía con el bienestar de nuestro planeta y de los seres que en éste convivimos.

Pero, ¿cómo podemos evaluar si nuestro estilo de vida cotidiano es lo suficientemente responsable con el ambiente? Tal vez lo primordial es, en primer lugar, darse cuenta de la necesidad de hacerlo.

This world is whack.  No doubt about it.  Only in America are unhealthy lifestyles perpetuated and celebrated.  While we should not condemn other people’s choices, it’s just out of tune to praise and applaud other people’s self destructive behavior and questionable preferences.  There is no denying that here in the U.S. we love our fast food.  Just take a look around and you’ll find yourself in the middle of a hundred McDonald’s and other fast food joints.  Obesity as a disease is no laughing matter, but once it happens as a choice y por pura hueva… then that’s when it becomes a problem.

Over 50,000 undocumented students graduate high school each year. But no clear number can trace how many of those undocumented students go on to attend a university. With immigration being hot on the plate of current presidential campaigns and with many U.S. citizens supporting laws that reduce aid to undocumented individuals, the faith of such undocumented students is far within their control.

The Cure said it, even Miguel Bosé agreed on the fact that “boys don’t cry”… or in Bosé’s words: “…los chicos no lloran sólo pueden soñar, los chicos no lloran, tienen que pelear.”  Why is it that we agree to follow the norm and stick to the macho status set by an ancient male dominating society?  The last phrase would make sense coming out of the mouth of a feminist or any other girl, but it may elicit a WTF?! if you heard it coming from a guy.  Now, if you add to that the fact that the male who now screams this phrase before you is a self proclaimed feminist and a natural born queer… well, it all kinda makes sense now.  But either way- whether you’re a gay or straight male, crying is something condemned by Latino society.
