How green are you?
This is 2015 and I can’t believe how people are not yet aware of the importance of taking care of the planet we live in. I think people should learn about “green issues” at school. Sometimes children learn how to make recycled paper and some others have workshops to learn some aspects of recycling. So, environmental-friendly practices can be definitely learnt at school and also at home.
I’ve always tried to be careful with the waste I produce. I use special bins (usually glass, plastic and organic bins) every time I can. Apart from that, I use water wisely; I learnt that in Chiloé when I was 12. It was only when we spent more than 2 weeks with a family in Nalhuitad, where they didn’t have tap water.
I’m constantly thinking about ways to reduce my carbon footprint and transmitting the information so more people are aware. I use my bike in the summer mostly. In winter it’s too cold for me and too contaminated as well but as in spring and summer is windier I tent to think that I’m not breathing so much smog. Also, as I don’t have a car, I’m always walking and taking the bus or the tube.
I support Greenpeace but only through the internet. I do that by signing emails requesting more laws or an action to stop some stupid objective of a millionaire company. I think we should support any eco-organisations if it’s because they want to take care of the planet. I’d love to make tons of copies of “The 11th Hour”, which is a documentary about the state of the Earth, considering air and water contamination mainly.

Finally, in terms of the capital city, I think Santiago is missing more laws and public policies so people learn and participate in solving matters related to the environment. Environmental problems are not the same in other regions but in Santiago there's a lot to do...
Whenever you have time, please watch this documentary and share it:

ReplyDeleteI feel bad for not being aware about recycling. But anyway, and it is not an excuse, it should be further promoted

I believe that all should start with small actions, so, instead of feeling bad, you starting with doing little things

ReplyDeleteI think we should teach from small children to take care of the environment, is worrying to see as man does not care about its environmental future...
ReplyDeleteI also feel bad for not doing much about it.
Care of the environment is necessary if we want to preserve this planet for future generations!
