How green are you?

We the human beings live in a world involved in precarious environment conditions. Contamination in different areas: the sea, the Earth, the air, acoustic.

The people today learn about environmentally friendly practices studying in the school, when this educative institution promotes to have conscience respect to this important theme. How? Through speech or discourses, workshop, investigation projects, competition with others schools, or tendering process.  Of this way, the students train their conscience for the care and attention of the nature and the environment.

I don´t renew the materials I use, unfortunately, because where I live there aren´t close to the houses recycling places. However, I try to use the same things in other occasions, for example, the bag for the bread or of the supermarket. When I have old clothes, books or magazine, I prefer to give them to neighbor or to sell them in a fair close to my house. If it had some close recycling place to carry waste or other kind of materials like piece of glass, paper, carton or plastic, I would love carry all there, of course.

I don´t participate in eco-organizations. But I would like to work with other friends, neighbors, or with somebody of my family for contribute to the good condition of our neighborhood (maintenance of parks, recycling, care of animals from the street, etc.). But, to realize an activity like this it´s something complicated, because sometimes the people don´t have time or it´s difficult direct and manage an organization.

In relation to reduce carbon footprint, I haven´t investigated to respect. But I know that it´s important prevent the vehicular contamination, and it´s better to use the bicycle.

Santiago in this case it´s a very polluted city, because of it´s the capital of Chile (this implicates a great economy, working in industries and manufactures, for this reason it´s compressible the pollution). The people in general (and the government) prioritize the hard work, the technology and the economy, but they aren´t worried for the nature, the environment, the family, the future, the culture nor the education. 

If every one of us can working with love for the surrounding, our family and the Earth in general, this world would be totally different and everybody would be happy.
