Watch What Happens When Humanity Ignores Garbage (Short Film)
Watch What Happens When Humanity Ignores Garbage Here is a video Raising awareness to pollution. When i arrive to the beach, the first thing i do is look around and pick up any garbage that there might be. Anything going into the ocean or anything that can be blown by the wind into the ocean, cups, bags. It is our responsibility to take action and keep our world clean.

Work towards bettering our…

WATCH: When Birds Eat Plastic
I protest for those who can’t speak for themselves as I wrote in this blog. Time to start making a change in our world. I think we need to stop using plastic, stop accepting plastic bags in the store, stop using plastic cups. We do live in a world that it has become unavoidable to use plastic. But if we can reduce our way of consumption we can start making the changes and we must find alternatives to plastic, such as cannabis hemp where we can make biodegradable plastic.

On the summer of 2015, I was astounded to find a toilet in a beautiful beach here in Puerto Rico. People sat next to it as if it was a normal fixture to nature and there it stood for a week or 2 at the same spot. After a while, I had enough and I removed the toilet from the sandy area and at first I tried to lift that toilet to take it out but the smelly toilet was filled with what I believed as urine, perhaps even poop and garbage and all that liquid started to leak out of the bottom and onto my leg. So as enraged…

My Beach Protest Was A Rude Awakening
My Beach Protest Was A Rude Awakening Definition of rude awakening : surprising and unpleasant discovery that one is mistaken <He thinks he can get by without doing any work, but he is in for a rude awakening.> (According to Merriam-Webber.) With the way I protested throughout this island with my signs, I am very aggressive with the things I say. I put all my thoughts out there, however “radical and extreme” people may find them. I hold nothing back. People may find it harsh, or find the things I say to be very abrasive. But that is what I call a rude awakening. Now people might also misconstrue the…

Foreigners care More About Puerto Rico Than Most People Born There
Foreigners care More About Puerto Rico Than Most People Born There Revised: July 24th,2022 Before we start, I want to clarify that I don’t mean ALL of Puerto Rico. There are many people who do care about this paradise but I find that a majority of people don’t. I would always find people here sitting next to the trash and not doing a thing about it. I have live in the beautiful paradise that is Puerto Rico for the last 11 years, after being born and raised in Brooklyn, NY all of my life. I moved here to open a bar but I ended up becoming the self imposed guardian…

Los extranjeros se preocupan más por Puerto Rico que las personas nacidas allí
Los extranjeros se preocupan más por Puerto Rico que las personas nacidas allí Revised: July 15th,2020 He vivido en el hermoso paraíso que es Puerto Rico durante los últimos 9 años, después de haber nacido y criado en Brooklyn, Nueva York. Me mudé aquí para abrir un bar, pero terminé convirtiéndome en el guardián autoimpuesto de las playas y ríos, de lo que se podría leer más aquí. Básicamente me cansé de ver a esta hermosa isla tratada con tanta falta de respeto y como un vertedero. Así que he estado en una campaña tratando de crear conciencia sobre la basura y parece que vine aquí a recoger la basura.…
