1.What "Brexit" means?

Brexit it is a contraction of the words “Britain” and “exit”.

2.What is Brexit?

On Thursday 23 June, 2016 people in UK  voted in a referendum to decide if quit or not from the European Union.

3.Why Brexit has been created?

This began because people in UK think that they can get better if they don’t belong any more to European Union. For example, to get a better life, to earn more money…
And also there’s one more reason:  they don’t want foreigners in their country.

4.What is the opinion of the people who is affected for it?

The people who is affected for Brexit and they’re not agreeing with that, think that is not a good decision for the future. For example if they‘re working in Spain and they have family in any place like Britain is very difficult for any person to travel to your house like a foreign not by be a foreign, otherwise because many things like in the airport you need a lot of papers and a permission for the days that you will stay there... But the opinion that the people who likes Brexit thinks that is necessary to control the immigration, because some of the people in UK think that foreigners are bad persons or thieves.

5.Consequences

5.1 Economy

To start, the day after the referendum, the UK money felt a lot and nowadays, it remains around a 15% below the dollar and a 10% below to the Euro.
Also it’s so difficult to look that with an objective perspective because the information is extreme, this means that all information comes from people who is according to Brexit or the people that isn’t according to it. For example, the “reamain” side says that will be and immediate crisis but the “leave” one argues that the economy will grow.

5.2 The Law

The law will have changes but the UK will keep some of the laws in the EU. So they will modify and add some news to create the called Great Repeal Bill.
This unique kind of super-law, will have at least 800 new ones.
  

5.3 Travel

As one of the causes of Brexit is that want to cut the immigration, to travel to the UK will be different than now.
From  the point of view of a EU citizen, Teresa May (the actual Prime Minister) and her program want to refuse the right to remain in the UK to 3 million of EU nationals living there and also to keep the immigration as far as possible. But they want the tourism will continue and even to become more easy, because the plains can continue travelling to the UK and EU without restriction.
From the point of view of a UK citizen nowadays it’s not necessary to have a passport to travel to the EU (and vice versa) because both of them are member os the European Union. But it is possible that if Brexit has success passport could be mandatory.

Panda's extinction

By Anonymous -

By Ruben Santiso Randis and Celia Veiga López  Everybody knows what is a panda. Those lovely animals are identified by their distinctive black and white coloring. They are named giant panda or panda bears, too. The pandas are an endangered specie, so actually there are only around 2060 pandas living in the wild. They have been endangered because we, the humans, have driven them to the edge of extintion. Patrick Fischer , Großer Panda im Ocean Park, Hongkong CC BY-SA 3.0 Why? Because of the destruction of their area and the bamboo’s forests that humans make everyday. That’s a big problem, because they won't have anywhere where live or anything what eat. Pandas’s only foodstuff is the bamboo, so if the human destroys the forests that produce their food, they won’t have natural bamboo, and they won’t eat correctly. Actually, there are some bamboo's farms, but the natural bamboo and the artificial bamboo arent the same. For take care of this situation, chi...

Pet abandonment

Written by Tiziano Leonel and Carlota Varela. Pet abandonment means leaving pets alone in awful circumstances or permitting it. Unfortunately, nowadays is a very common theme which must be eradicated but that criminals who do it don’t pay as they must. I think we could talk for those who have no voice. You should know that adopting animals is better than buying them, because, many animals are abandoned and there isn’t enough space to leave them in the animal shelter so, many of them are slaughtered because they can’t be fed, we must save them. Many animals are abandoned on Christmas (around 600 pets on holidays) because people gift them to persons who can’t care of them and, finally, they’re abandoned. What can I do if I can’t take care of it? -I can give him to another person, for example: a friend, a relative… -I can leave him in the animal shelter. But, before you adopt a pet, you must know if you can take care of it: -Do you have time to play with it?  Pets lov...
