New Year, New Life. How many times we have heard
or said this phrase just because. But if we think it through it’s an
opportunity to renew ourselves, to fulfill us with new energy, to give a step
forward… an unexpected twist to our lives and to everything that surround us.
If every year ending we make awareness of all
the things we can improve, of what we like or not, not only personally but a in
our environment, we would have the power
to transforms our world and ourselves making a better version of us, a group of
actions that take us to the kind of people we are.
We always start the year with a million of
purposes which we are leaving behind in the course of the year, but instead of
doing the same, we can think not just individually but globally and take
actions that go beyond of improve our body but lead us to live in a better
world. We live in a time when we really need to wake up and help to make a
better place for living, our México and the world.
We are so concerned about living a life full of
"luxuries " and material things that we forget what is truly
important in life; our environment, the Street were we meet with our neighbors,
the city where we live and therefore… is in this way that I have come to the
question: Where to begin?
There are many issues that urge to improve, but
today we will focus on a very important: Caring for our land, our air, our
water and all the natural resources around us; we need to think of a greener
world for all. Let's start building
green areas or planters in our homes or work areas, in our colony caring for
parks, giving maintenance, planting trees and collecting the waste from our
pets. We do not need to search for the
responsible ones, but be active and make ourselves a better world.
“Let’s design thinking
about how to help the environment, using recyclable resources, designing green
areas not only ornamental plants but also provide some other benefit as are
fruit, spices…”
Kees Van Rooij
There is not arbitrary that architecture is
considered one of the Fine Arts, because it goes beyond the mere idea of
developing a construction but gives us identity and help us to know who we are;
have healthy spaces will talk so much about ourselves but about the society we
are too. We need to adopt these ideas not only as a simple new year purpose but
as a lifestyle and share it with our families, colleagues and friends, making a
common purpose with concrete and simple actions to take, an immediately
attitude change.
Finally I leave this quote from one of my
favorite people, serving as an example to adopt this new and better way of
life:
“We've got this gift
of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and
leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've
got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it
and nurture it”. John Lennon
