Chile's Urban Speed Limit Change


  • Recently, the deputy chamber aproved the proyect that wants to decrease the speed limit of urban zones, from 60 km/h to 50 km/h. The iniciative is waiting to be announced as an official Republic law by the official autorities.
  • Two thousand people die on average in Chile as a result of traffic accidents. The main objective of the project is to decrease this statistic, which significantly affects cyclists and pedestrians, and which was approved by the Chamber of Deputies with 114 votes in favor, 8 against and 25 abstentions.
  • The decision to cut down the speed limit is very controversial, as many people think 60 km/h is already a slow speed to drive in cities, and bringing it down will make more people break these speed limits. What do you think about this new law? Is the speed limit okay as it is now?

    I believe that those who drive must be responsible and abide the law. The new law has to reach all the drivers

    I think that the speed limit is fine at 60 kilometers per hour and that changing it to 50 is exacted, the accident problems are because people drive badly or by people who do not use the steps of zebras or cyclists who do not use cyclobia, There are also places where there are enough people or children playing in which they should put lower speed signs but not in the whole city.

How Waste Affects Our Ocean

Did you know that if we keep on contaminating this world with plastic and non biodegradable items in 2050 the world will have more waste than fish ? The ocean is turned into a huge trash can where people throw their garbage with no conscience of what they are doing. We need to take care of our ocean because it produces more than half of the atmosphera´s oxygen. Also we get a lot of our food in there so if we keep killing our fish and turtles, we will extinct them. So if you want to help the cause, you must recycle, reuse and reduce all of the things that you use daily.

Florida School Shooting

Nikolas Cruz, a 19 year old, was the sole author of one of the deadliest mass shootings in the U.S history. On February 14th, 2018, he walked into a South Florida high school and killed 17 people, 14 students and 3 adults. This Wednesday the Florida state announced that they will seek death penalty for the teen. Cruz was willing to plead guilty in order to avoid the death penalty, but now, he is declining to enter a plea. I personally don´t know how to feel about the fact that a complete state is looking for and, set on killing a teen, even if he did himself kill so many people. I don´t know if we, as common people, have rights over a human life, even if that life is responsible for the death of others. How do you guys feel about the death penalty for teens?
