PAULA ESTÉVEZ

When we tried to break the washing machine from home and repair it, the repairer told us we had to buy in another. That we could make it cheaper, no, that it would cost us much more to buy a new one. If it was not obvious at first, we were told that yes, that in the medium term this would happen, that at first you had sacrificed more, less euros, and that we had been at peace for several months – you did not speak of years – so perhaps not, but within the months you were more profitable, because the machine was not, scrupulously, quite new to be easy to solve. In Ordukotz, by lowering the label to level D.

The engine of this consumer society is still a long way from the production and production of boots and dwellings, which often condemn things that are not very deteriorated and cause money to be transmitted manually. Sustainable, though patented, is not easy to get home. Everything is change and renewal. With tools, clothes, toys, culture. Reconsider experiences. Although it opened up beyond 2020 as a model, and if we initially set out our efforts to curb consumption, we were soon caught up with the old specifications. And as if nothing happened and it didn't happen, we're once again strangled by credits and cars.

The driving force behind this consumer society is still a long line of production for retaining boots and living, often condemning things that are not very badly damaged and causing the money to be transferred manually.

Next week, I had a surprise that I didn't expect, in time. We have the house filled with pieces that we will not use anymore. When accumulated in the garage, it's best not to start calculating the carbon footprint. So those who are no longer children, legos, games, suits, shoes, small furniture, collections -- they gathered and photographed. Then, they analyzed prices, wrote descriptive and reflected on negotiation strategies. Then they started their everyday life, seeing themselves a little bit as head of business, but well ... At first I was skeptical, I admit. But a few days they sold it all inclusive and fired it in bundles. All these objects, including those that cost a lot, had already had a life. But each one caused their own receiver, seduced and convinced someone.

Health level of the second-hand object market. In the last two years, the number of shops and brands selling second-hand products has increased. Shoppers also go that way. They stress that the habit of buying from young generations goes first to that habit of buying and that the new purchase is only necessary. They say that some people do the resale calculation to make a second's potential when they buy something new. The things we will not use on our part will remain in the houses and hands of others. And with the relative income that's been made, children have been given second-hand gifts.

Between the verbs expire and persevere we have a difference of two words. In the dictionary they happen. Between the entries one, the first and the next expires. In Bizkitarte, what follows this second is, curiously, permanent. On the same page of the dictionary is, on the other hand, a little higher, the verb revolutionize. On the contrary, to talk about turning, to get there, we first have a space and this page, too short. In Anart, retain in memory: the most sustainable is always what is not produced or bought.

Nora (and how)

The lights of the theater are on. Discreetly, I’m walking on the steps: the school performance is about to begin. The young men run to their seats, full of life and joy. The retreat has the taste of liberation, but this feeling of freedom speaks Spanish or French. This... [+]

Burokraziaz

Wikipedian bilatu dut hitza, eta honela ulertu dut irakurritakoa: errealitatea arrazionalizatzeko metodologia da burokrazia, errealitatea ulergarriago egingo duten kontzeptuetara murrizteko bidean. Errealitatea bera ulertzeko eta kontrolatzeko helburua du, beraz.

The answers to these questions

There are those who subscribe to portals to sell their homes because they would like to buy a house. From time to time they even make appointments to see the houses, and I am sure that the seller knows that these people will not buy the house, not because they find it in the... [+]

There is a link between Euskal Ya and AHT in Navarre

Do not look for this connection from Ezkio or Altsasu, let alone crossing the Ebro River through Castejón. The connection, or rather the connections, between the Basque Y and the AVE of Navarre is already a reality. It is these links in the plural that should concern us and... [+]

Don't make a fuss, don't confront, don't victimize... and obey. As oppressed subjects, in this case as Basques, we talk, how many times have we had to listen to them? Ironically, two years ago, at the Euskalale Independentiston Meeting, Esne Arzallus said: "We have arrived here,... [+]
