Hello to the entire @ladiesofhive community. Grateful to be able to participate and share with you in this new installment of the community contest.
This time I will only answer the first two questions, the last one I don't dare to answer hahaha.
1. What do you do for the environment and what is your best advice? Tell us about your 'green' side!
Being a native of the Bolivar State, the largest in Venezuela and possessor of many natural monuments, some recognized worldwide such as Angel Falls, I have always been in contact with nature, since I was in high school I always participated with my classmates in the cleaning projects of the viewpoint of angostura on the banks of the Orinoco River, this was as part of our community project at the high school.
As a pro-environment group, we tried another more risky project, visiting the mining areas where gold miners are causing irreversible damage to the land and water sources, although we did an awareness campaign on the importance of protecting the environment and not using practices aggressive to extract the gold, it was not much that could be achieved, since the entire area is controlled by gangsters and criminals, who at the same time are protected by high government military personnel.
Later, after marrying an Oriental Barcelonian, I continued to be surrounded by wonderful landscapes with spectacular beaches, and every time I visit a beach I always carry my special garbage bag, so as not to leave garbage lying on the beach, trying to give the example and so I feel calmer with myself.
My advice is that we should always apply recycling, reuse glass containers, not use so many plastic bags that we know will end up in water sources. We have seen how the beverage industry in the country is going back to using glass bottles.
My green practices are a bit limited because I don't have a lot of space where I can plant as I want, although I do have some plants, mostly medicinal, since I like natural medicine.

This is my avocado bush./ Esta es mi mata de aguacates.
This is spinach and in the background you can see a banana. / Esta es de espinaca y al fondo puedes ver una de platano.
This is from cilantro, the coriander family but with a stronger smell, it is one of the ones that I take care of the most. / Esta es de culantro, familia del cilantro pero con un olor mas fuerte, es una de las que mas cuido.
This is from Santa Maria or also known as Toronjil. Very good for these COVIC-19 times. / Esta es de Santa Maria o tambien conocida como Toronjil. Buenisima para estos tienpos de COVIC-19.
2. What animal (s) make the perfect match to describe yourself? And because?
The answer could be the "Tonina" which is a kind of dolphin that lives in the Orinoco river, anyway I like the security and freedom with which they move when they are in their environment. I also like rabbits, I can tell you I'm a bit sensitive and I like to be pampered a lot.
Concurso de la comunidad Ladies of Hive #7
Hola a toda la comunidad de @ladiesofhive. Agradecida de poder participar y compartir con ustedes en esta nueva entrega del concurso de la comunidad.
Esta vez solo contestare las dos primeras preguntas, la última no me atrevo a responderla jajaja.
1. ¿Qué haces por el medio ambiente y cuál es tu mejor consejo? ¡Cuéntanos sobre tu lado 'verde'!
Siendo nativa del Estado Bolívar el más grande de Venezuela y poseedor de muchos monumentos naturales algunos reconocidos mundialmente como el Salto Ángel, siempre he estado en contacto con la naturaleza, desde que estaba en el liceo siempre participaba con mis compañeros en los proyectos de limpieza del mirador de angostura a orillas del Rio Orinoco, esto era como parte de nuestro proyecto comunitario en el liceo.
Como grupo pro-ambiente intentamos otro proyecto más arriesgado, visitando las zonas mineras donde los mineros de oro están causando daños irreversibles al terreno y las fuentes de agua, aunque hicimos una campaña de concientización sobre la importancia de proteger el medio ambiente y no utilizar practicas agresivas para extraer el oro, no fue mucho lo que se pudo lograr, ya que toda la zona está controlada por mafiosos y delincuentes, que a la vez están protegidos por altos militares del gobierno.
Ya después después de casarme con un Oriental Barcelonés, seguí rodeada de paisajes maravillosos con sus playas espectaculares, y cada vez que visito una playa siempre llevo mi bolsita especial para la basura, para no dejar basura tirada a orillas de la playa, tratando de dar el ejemplo y así me siento más tranquila conmigo misma.
Mi consejo es que siempre debemos de aplicar el reciclaje, reutilizar los envases de vidrio, no usar tantas bolsas de plástico sabemos que van a parar a las fuentes de agua. Hemos visto como la industria de bebidas en el país, están volviendo a usar botellas de vidrio.
Mis prácticas verdes están un poco limitadas porque no tengo mucho espacio donde poder sembrar como quisiera, aunque si tengo algunas plantas en su mayoría medicinales, ya que me gusta la medicina natural.
2. ¿Qué animal (s) hacen la combinación perfecta para describirte a ti misma? ¿Y por qué?
La respuesta podría ser la “Tonina” que es una especie de delfín que habita en el rio Orinoco, de cualquier forma me gusta la seguridad y libertad con la que se desplazan cuando están en su ambiente. También me simpatizan los conejos, que te puedo decir soy un poco sensible y me gusta que me hagan muchos mimos.
I hope you like it. / Espero les guste.

Growing up with glass the sooner packaging goes back to sterilizing and reusing the better this world will be, I now ask for paper bags instead of plastic, so sad how much is packed in double layers of plastic today.
Every little bit helps, a small garden or potted plants on balconies again help growing some herbs or greens for the home, nice entry into the contest @surelys
Hello, thank you for commenting, and well unfortunately the industry will always use what is cheaper for them than for now in many countries is plastic, it is already on our part that those plastic packaging and containers do not end in the green areas or in the sources of water. greetings and luck.
Plastic is a big problem everywhere, the only way to overcome the excessive use is to switch back to natural materials.
People will not listen, best to remove the problem via law.
A tonina... interesting!
Good luck with the contest!
thanks the same to you darling.
Even a small space can be environmentally beneficial, I have seen some amazing little balcony gardens that are wonderful and productive.
Thank you for sharing @surelys and Welcome to Ladies of Hive
Hello, I do have a similar project with hydroponic cultivation, but for the moment it will not be possible, but I will continue with my medicinal plants.
