<\/u><\/p>\n\u00a1Bienvenidos todos! Ya estoy en el Reino Unido y desafortunadamente el a\u00f1o al extranjero se acab\u00f3. Mi experiencia fue extraordinaria y voy a reflexionar sobre mi tiempo en el extranjero con el tema del medio ambiente en mente.<\/p>\n
When it comes to the environment, I have to say that when I first arrived in Spain, I noticed that things were well maintained and taken care of. During my time in M\u00e1laga throughout Semana Santa, I couldn\u2019t help but notice that every night, after the parades were finished, the streets were thoroughly cleaned… the city was spotless! In fact, most of the areas of Spain were like this, I was impressed with how well the people looked after their surroundings. Another thing that I noticed when I first arrived was the difference between the landscapes we get in Spain compared to those that we see here in the UK. Just little things stood out to me when I first arrived, like the view from the plane window as we were landing or from the train as it went the scenic route; I\u2019m so used to seeing green grassy fields back at home, but in Spain, the landscapes were made up of oranges and browns. It\u2019s just a case of getting used to the environment that you\u2019re in!<\/p>\n
Hoy en d\u00eda, sabemos que el medio ambiente es un tema espinoso. Entonces pienso que ser\u00eda una buena idea discutir un poco sobre el tema y lo que pasa en Espa\u00f1a. Hay que tener en cuenta que una de las principales cuestiones medioambientales en Espa\u00f1a es la deforestaci\u00f3n porque muchos bosques han sido destruidos debido a los incendios forestales y la tala de \u00e1rboles. Otro problema medio ambiental es la falta de recursos energ\u00e9ticos renovables como la energ\u00eda solar (solar energy), la energ\u00eda e\u00f3lica (wind energy) y la energ\u00eda hidroel\u00e9ctrica (hydro-electric power). De hecho, solamente 33,7% de la energ\u00eda en Espa\u00f1a viene de recursos energ\u00e9ticos renovables. Sin embargo, hay que decir que las turbines e\u00f3licas proporcionan mucho de la energ\u00eda del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n
The weather in Ciudad Real was nothing like I expected it to be! We had maybe in total around 20 beautifully sunny days- the kind of weather I was convinced we\u2019d have all the time! Even the locals said that this year was a strange year for weather. We had mainly cloudy days with a few thunderstorms. I didn\u2019t mind it so much in the end though as I kind of reminded me of home!<\/p>\n
El reciclaje se hace un poco diferente en Espa\u00f1a que en el Reino Unido. Creo que se hace menos hincapi\u00e9 en la importancia del reciclaje porque, como sabemos, aqu\u00ed tenemos diferentes contenedores en nuestras casas para clasificar los diferentes tipos de basura. Sin embargo, en Espa\u00f1a s\u00f3lo hab\u00eda un contenedor disponible, pero es posible encontrar algunos contenedores de reciclaje en el centro de la ciudad.
