· With a lot of noise, only deadly silence remains.
· Do you want your grandchildren to be born without hearing?
· Think about the future!
· Sounds were always nice. Why to change them!?
· Don't allow sounds to become noises
· Better a thousand words to make a noise than a thousand noises to make a word.

Laura Martín, Diana Fernández, Violeta de la Fuente, Blanca Sánchez

If you produce too much noise, you won’t listen the wonderful sounds in the nature and you can be sure that you will repent
You can change it but you will ask yourself how? It is very easy. To start with, you can reduce noise in your house, for example when you listen to music you mustn’t go beyond certain limits. Or if you are going by car and you are trapped in traffic jam you shouldn’t touch the horn because in this way you don’t cause noise.

SLOGANS:
1-Too much noise = no wonderful sounds = repentance.
2-Fed up of unpleasant noise? Collaborate reducing your noise.
3-You won’t listen your grandchildren. It will be too late then. Now, you can change it

In this pair of images, we can see the difference between a river that flows in a poor country and a river that flows through a rich place.
Developed countries use the water on rivers with modern technology, and for this, they build a lot of reservoirs that have a great impact on environment.
The creation means a menace for the nature. The reservoir’s construction is to collect the water for the irrigation system, but this constructions destroy a lot of wetlands.
This means that the reservoir’s profit entail a lot of enviromental and social problems.

Underdeveloped countries don’t build reservoirs and their nature is less polluted,but their water is more wasted.

Ana García provided us with the pictures for this new type of square. Las Gradas, an open space is a place where graffiti are allowed. It has become a symbol for young artists. It is not easy to understand the meaning of these works: desparation, fury, fear....
Look at them and try to find your own meaning. Post a comment.

Are these images a symbol of our industrialised society that pollutes everything, even men?

What is this figure swallowing? Our mechanical world?

Why is she shouting? What is she afraid of?

A child's tear deserves all our attention.

Thank you to these artists because they make us think and to Ana because she has finally found a way to collaborate.
Post your comments.

The noise is the cause that a lot people have health problems.

The bell at the high school can to provoke deafness.

We should take measures about the noise of bell´s high school:

The noise pollution is generated by the noise and it affects negatively our health.
The noise is a not wished, annoying and irritating sound. Its production is cheap, it doesn’t generate residuals and it doesn’t pollute neither the wind neither the water.
The effects of the noise pollution are undestimated but they are immediate and accumulative. The excessive noise provokes in you:
- Audition loss and deafness
- Memory loss
- Stress
- Sleep reduction.
The world health organization qualifies the noise like the nuinsance in the industrialized countries. Spain is the second country with index od acoustic pollution. Two types of measures exist to combat the noise:
- Passive measures: We should diminish the intensity of the noise but without eliminating the focuses. Example: Helmets, acoustic screens.
- Active measures: We should eliminate the issuing focoses of noise. Example: To disminish the traffic and to foment the public transportion.

A square very important of Avila is “El Chico”. It is a square from XVIII century, which is in the center of city. A lot of people visit the square everyday. The name of this square is “Victoria” but it’s called “Market Chico” for everybody.”Chico” means small.

There we find a church called San Juan, where Santa Teresa De Jesús was baptized, and where Carlos I (1534) and Felipe III (1600) were welcomed. We, usually find the religious power and the political one in squares.

In this square there are both powers. In this square the Town Hall is. The Town Hall is a big building where the mayor works with his asistants. There are balconies with flags of Spain, Castilla Y León and Ávila.
Usually in the square people trade since early moments in history for that reason in the square there is an arcade, because the merchants get under and they sell their products. Nowadays the people trade on Friday with the region products- vegetables, fruits, ceramics- for this, it is called “Market Chico” ,although now the merchants don’t use the arch to sell.
In the past the market lasted since the morning until the night. In this square the tourists buy keepsakes and traditional food, for example “Las yemas de Santa Teresa”.
Usually in the squares one can also find a bank o two banks where the people can keep money or obtain
money.
In the fair of Avila there are bullfightings and these they were done in other square of Avila but a year the
town council decided to do the bullfightings in the square called “Market Chico”, but it was not popular.
Perhaps this square was the center of a zone of vettons. It is possible for the boar which is in the arch of San Vicente.
This square is being reformed, in the future the cars won't drive in the square and this square will be for the pedestrian. They will be able to walk in the square without traffic problems.

Every year a medieval market is held in the Chico. It is a very beautiful and important event. A lot of people from other countries and cities come to Avila for the medieval market. In this date the people wear clothes similar to the ones people wore before.
And the people buy natural things, keepsake and traditional food.

The square of Chico just as the other squares is a place where the people walk and speak with their friends, a place where the people buy on Friday, a place where the people go to pray...
