    Vivir en la ciudad o en el campo

    Testimonio de un citadino

    Yo he vivido en la ciudad desde que era un niño, el campo estÔ bien para ir a tomar aire limpio de vez en cuando o también para tomar unas vacaciones, pero yo soy un citadino. Yo no podría vivir nunca en el campo. Principalmente por razones profesionales, en la ciudad uno puede encontrar trabajo, pero sobre todo también por razones culturales. Teatros, cines, exposiciones, conciertos, restaurantes y cadenas de comida rÔpida. Se encuentra de todo en la ciudad, también gente que viene de varios países. A mí me encanta el ambiente internacional. Y si hablamos del aspecto académico, es evidente que en la ciudad se encuentran las mejores universidades. También aprecio el esfuerzo del gobierno por mejorar el sistema de transporte público y los servicios de bicicleta pública. Actualmente podemos transportarnos mÔs eficazmente y fÔcilmente, es menos estresante.

    Por supuesto hay algunos puntos negativos, como la contaminación, y los precios de las rentas, son muy elevados, pero al final de cuentas, yo no renunciaría nunca a la vida en una gran ciudad, es mucho mÔs divertida e interesante.

    Testimonio de una persona que vivió en la ciudad

    Mi familia y yo hemos dejado la ciudad hace 6 años. Demasiado estrés, demasiada contaminación, el costo de vida es demasiado elevado y los tiempos para transportarte de tu casa al trabajo son exagerados. Nos hemos mudado a un pequeño pueblo de aproximadamente 5 mil habitantes. Hay una escuela muy cerca para los niños, y mi esposa y yo hemos abierto un pequeño negocio. Todas las personas viajan a pie o usan la bicicleta.

    Aquƭ la vida es mƔs tranquila, tenemos tiempo para hacer otras actividades por ejemplo pasear, hay un mercado todos los sƔbados por la maƱana donde venden frutas y verduras frescas. Se encuentran productos de excelente calidad y naturales. TambiƩn las personas son amigables y hay mƔs convivencia. Aquƭ tambiƩn tenemos internet, tenemos acceso a la modernidad. DespuƩs de todos estos aƱos, no me arrepiento de haberme mudado al campo, estoy seguro que no vamos a regresar a una gran ciudad.

    Perritos esperan ser adoptados cada sƔbado y domingo en parque MƩxico

    ĀæAlguna vez has escuchado la frase ā€œel perro es el mejor amigo del hombreā€? seguramente sĆ­!

    Tener un perro en casa da mucha alegrƭa. Tienes un amigo siempre a tu lado, te recibe cuando llegas del trabajo, te sigue a todas partes, te cuida y siempre quiere hacerte compaƱƭa.

    Si estƔs planeando tener un perrito en tu casa, te recomiendo adoptar, es mejor porque hay muchos perritos que han sido abandonados y necesitan un hogar y una familia que los quiera. Muchas personas regalan o compran un perro pero despuƩs de un rato los abandonan.

    Todos los fines de semana cuando voy al parque MƩxico que estƔ en la Condesa, veo a muchos perritos en Jaulas, cachorritos y perros mƔs grandes, tambiƩn hay gatos. Las personas que estƔn ayudando a los perros pertenecen a refugios o grupos de rescate animal. Estas personas lo hacen por el amor que tienen a los perros, muchas veces los ayudan con sus propios recursos y sin fines de lucro.

    Si estƔs en el parque MƩxico puedes pedir permiso para pasear a los perros, o tambiƩn puedes contribuir con algo de dinero o croquetas para los perritos.

    Si ves a un perro que te gusta y quieres adoptarlo es muy fÔcil, solo tienes que dar una donación, puede ser dinero o croquetas, una foto de tu identificación y comprobante de domicilio.

    Te recomendamos llevar a tu perrito despuƩs de ser adoptado a un veterinario. El veterinario lo examinarƔ y te dirƔ que es lo mejor que hacer para que se recupere tu perrito.

    Si es la primera vez que tienes un perro, lo mejor es llevarlo con un adiestrador canino para que te explique lo que tienes que enseñarle a tu perro, por ejemplo, en qué lugar tiene que ir al baño, socializar con otros perros, manejar la ansiedad por separación, etc.

    En Ciudad de MƩxico hay muchos lugares Pet Friendly, puedes llevar a tu perro al trabajo, a un cafƩ, a un restaurante, hay parques para perros. Yo cada dƭa llevo a mi perro al parque para que juegue con otros perros. Tener un perro cambiarƔ tu vida!

    Si tienes un perro o has adoptado quisiera escuchar tu experiencia.

Laura estaciona su coche en un estacionamiento grande, ella siempre encuentra lugar. Ella toma un carrito y entra al super, todo estÔ muy bien ordenado, hay productos nacionales e internacionales. Cuando Laura va al supermercado ella trata de no gastar mucho dinero. Su presupuesto mensual no es muy grande. Laura también trata de comprar productos locales y productos que no dañan al medio ambiente. También ella estÔ intentando reducir su consumo de carne. Ella compra yogurt, pasta, atún, papel higiénico y pasa a la caja a pagar. Laura también lleva una bolsa reutilizable.

    Hacer las compras de manera alternativa

    A Sergio no le gustan los grandes centros comerciales, él prefiere las tiendas pequeñas, ahí puede encontrar productos locales, y comprar frutas y verduras frescas, también Sergio va a la carnicería y la pescadería, donde encuentra carne y pescado fresco. Sergio lleva sus propias bolsas para cuidar el medio ambiente y usa la bicicleta o simplemente camina para no usar carro o algún medio de transporte.

    Sergio hace las compras el domingo en la maƱana, en un mercado que estĆ” a unas cuadras de su casa. Ɖl va al negocio donde venden frutas y verduras.
