Ecolo
I found the first article I wrote for this magazine (Garai modernoak, 2004) and I was surprised by the current situation. After eighteen years, wind mills began to grow everywhere (they continued to grow and are now one of the main sources of energy in Navarre), urban orchards (removed some of the banks of the Arga River, but now have created others in the vicinity of the Arga and elsewhere), buildings that are now insatiable landings (now also advancing).
I dare not say how far the environmental movement had spread two decades ago – I am convinced that by then it was already known in Euskal Herria, but it was still an alternative trend, the issue of hippies still – but I am sure that environmental habits and practices were not in fashion as they are now, which still did not dominate. In recent years many people have gone from saying “these ecologists” to eating “organic” foods.
I do not want to be ironic, I take these issues seriously, and I am glad that more and more people are becoming aware of the need for ecology. More and more people feel ekolo.
On the other hand, I am aware that the expansion of environmental practices is creating more and more contradictions and complexity. For example, the introduction of organic food into large production, distribution and trade networks shows dark and uncertain differences. And these giant windmills produce renewable energy, but they also have a negative impact on the landscape, fauna and ecosystems in general (ask, if not, ecologists who actively fight against the installation of mills at sea in Girona). What can be said about waste (although discrimination increases, there is no good way of eliminating rejection, and goods, both ecologically and conventional, often bring excessive packaging) or about means of transport (the electric car is the real solution? ).
However, it is now the big companies and institutions “ekoloenak”, which as they always lead (and in this case I do want to take advantage of irony). Those who have created serious ecological problems, who for years and years have been listened to and blind to environmentalists, and even aggressive, will always lead us, with money, to the paradox of ecology. Mean bad, if you do it correctly (but I don't trust it).

Isn't it a sign of pride to look at the people in front of me as if they weren't people? Yes, of course yes. But how can we expect others to understand? Understand, observe, look. Does wanting to understand others not require this proud attitude? Knowing what it is to be a person,... [+]
They say it's been a year. I have never understood the arrogant habit that Westerners have: even if the conflict lasts almost a century, we adapt the dates to our liking, giving away the importance we want. Has the last era been different for the Palestinians who are imprisoned... [+]
I've been a teacher for 20 years and I've been teaching at all levels of High School, and today is the day I don't know what the teacher's role is.
In the long staircase of regulated education, each level has its own characteristics. In ESO, for example, good work habits and... [+]
It is no coincidence that Columbus Day, that of the Civil Guard and the Virgen del Pilar coincided on that date. The three represent oppressive structures (statue, army and church). On the other hand, there is indigenous resistance and population that the Spanish State... [+]
In how many excursions, outings or friendly walks have we heard that all the roads lead to Rome? Many times, and sometimes, I have felt the duty to tell you. The truth is that I think I have always misunderstood this expression. I have always imagined a straight road, in which... [+]
They once explained to me that the word spam means a very poor quality sausage that was made in the Anglo-Saxon villages of surplus pigs. The word may be known because it has a folder in the email that receives messages you don't want. This term was the first example I met to... [+]
Edurne Azkarate said from the micro stage that the Basque film has little Basque in the celebration of the San Sebastian Film Festival. The phrase echoes for its truthfulness. In the architecture scene you can repeat the same motto and I am sure that in so many other cultural... [+]
Onintza Enbeita denounced gordophobia in her column on October 4 in relation to the experience of a visit to the gynecologist. It can be said that we are all committed to entering the same body, and it is true, we have all heard what it is, but it is also true -- that what is... [+]
Uwa, kamsá, tukuná, uitoto, tikun, embera, nasa/yuwe, nuka, sikuani, siano, macuna, yuruti, kichwa, achagua, bora, truncar. These are some of the languages spoken in Colombia. Unfortunately, when I lived in Colombia, in Cundinamarca, I did not have the opportunity to learn our... [+]
At the beginning of the course, the elections should be the main event on the UPV/EHU information agenda. At the School of Social Sciences and Communication, we also have a double appointment, as the assembly of our center will also be elected in October. It opens up the... [+]
I don't know if they met in Lapurdi. Enrique Gómez Korta was killed by the Spanish Basque Battalion on on 25 June 1979 in Baiona. Pakistan Arriaran fled to Iparralde in November 1978, where he stayed for a year, until he left to Venezuela to avoid the attacks that ended his... [+]
Aware of the importance of ideology in political behaviour, we Basques must pay particular attention to the issue of our ideology, since within the framework of a concrete ideological location it is always decided what to do, what not to do, how, with whom, against whom, etc... [+]
It wasn't a sadness, right next door. And great despair. This year we have given birth to two creations ("Lurez Ezkutua" and "Bidasoa Mintzatu"), we have achieved great success and yet a bitter feeling squeezes my neck.
I have been working in theatre for about 30 years, writing,... [+]
