Peruvian Weavers.. Writing by: Series Editor

This story is about a group of women weavers in a small village. These weavers the hair from sheep and llamas to make cloth. The weavers make blanket for their heals and shawls to wear, so they can stay warm. In a small village high in the Andes, the weaving process starts with just one sheep. The methods they use are traditional, but these villagers really are part of something new. The wool is for a weavers' cooperative that the women here manage. Nilda Cayanupa is the leader of the Centre for traditional, and her dreams that the younger generation should learn how to weave, so the weaving wont die. According to Nilda, her village produces a lot of very good foods. Farming has been a tradition in Chinhero for a long time. Many farmers here continue the traditions of the Inca people who lived in the Andes for centuries. Nilda agrees that these women weavers are becoming more important. They are becoming the main economic supporters of the family. Weaving has become a way to make the textile tradition stronger and to keep a part of the past a live. The young women learn to be self-sufficient. They can sell the blankets and clothes that they make in their free time. In the end, their cooperative may show that many treads together are stronger than one a lone.

The great plastic garbage patch..

The great plastic garbage patch..
Garbage is in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . In this ocean there's an area the northern Pacific Gyre . I this circular movement , the Currents collect garbage . And , 90 percent of this garbage is plastic . Eighty percent of it comes from land . The garbage come fro every country whose shoreline touches the Pacific . A sailor named Charles Moore discovered the patches in 1997 , when sailing near Hawaii. He calculated that there were more 3 million tons of plastic in the water . All of this garbage is hurting the environment . Fish and seabirds often think little pieces of plastic are a king of food . However , most plastic is not biodegradable . Scientists say that cleaning up the garbage patches is impossible . We have to control the amount and keep beaches.

Summarizing..
1- Zero Waste it is new idea for dealing with all the garbage in the world . Some cities like San Francisco already recycle 68percent of their trash . A company that's recycling food waste they put it all together and turn it into compost .

2- Before they started, Chris and her husband counted all the plastic items they used in a month. The total was 603, so for one month, they tried to live without plastic. They didn't succeed in not using any plastic, but they did bring the number of items down to 106.

Consider the ideas..
I think that recycling is a great thing. The problem is that we produce too much garbage in the first place. Some people will say that this is unfair because large families will pay more than people living a lot. Other things like water and electricity.


Nasreddin Hodja and the candle

One day during a particularly cold winter . Hodja and his friend sat in a coffeehouse discussing the weather . They spoke normally , but soon they were bragging about the things they could do . Hodja said he love cold and snow when he was a boy , but his friend he didn't believe his story . They make a challenge . His can you stay out all night without coat or a blanket or anything ? Hadja said of course no fire , no hot tea and no blanket . His friend said " if you can stay outside all night , you'll be our guest at a fine dinner and Hodja is agree with his friend . That evening the Hadje's friends watched through the windows of their warm houses as the Hodja strolled . Hodja imagined that the warmth of the light helped warm the blood . By doing this , he was able to stay out all night in the cold . In the morning his friend, stepping outside into the cold air, were amazed to find the Hodja calm and smiling. He had stayed outside all night. His friend said "are you sure that you didn't use anything special to warm yourself?"Hodja said " Unless you include a candle burning a hundred meters away. It's burning glow helped me to feel warm during the night. Screamed his friend. The Hodja protested that he was right and his friends were wrong. Reluctantly he invited them to dinner at his house that evening. The group arrived in good time, waiting for their meal. But they did not smell the delicious smells that would tell them that the Hodja was preparing a fine meal. The waiting men were hungry and began to complain. There was still no food. Hodja said to his friend, " the dinner is cooking. You can come and see for yourselves". When they arrived, they were amazed to see a large cooking pot hanging from the ceiling. His best friend said, " surely you don't expect to heat that pot with a candle. The dinner will never be cooked". Hodja said calmly," I'm not sure, if a candle that is a hundred meters away can keep me warm all night long. Then can heat pot for your dinner.
