The name's Ale. It's splendid to meet you.
I'm just going to get straight to the point here:
It has been brought to my attention that the world as we know it is dying. Like literally, Planet Earth is dying. Whether you want to believe it or not, humans suck.
We suck the life out of anything and everything we can. Why is that? I have no idea.
Maybe its because we're all selfish bastards in one way or another. It's not always intentional, and we can't help it, but most people put themselves before others.
Not all the time, but definitely most of the time.
Where was I?
Oh right, selfish bastards.
Well anyway, I've been taking a psychology class at school, and my professor is awesome.
He's been taking an evolutionary psychology direction, and I love it. To me, it makes perfect sense: We must understand where we came from and what we were designed for in order to understand how we got to where we are now, right?
So he started the class by informing the class of exactly what I just informed you. And we've been watching some pretty convincing videos.
So, I'm devoting this blog to my "turning over a new leaf" experience.
I'm goin' green!
Everyday I'm going to make some effort to save the environment. Whether it be recycling, conserving energy, or not using as much water, I am going to do the research and find the many ways in which I can reduce my "Footprint."
I'm going to start you off with a video that seriously altered my perspective on this issue, maybe it'll help change yours too.
It's called: The Story of Stuff

Watch it and let me know what you think.
Got any suggestions? Please do tell!
Don't forget we're all in this together.
It's not just my Earth, its yours too.
