Think Green

The people learn about environmentally friendly practices in different contexts, in the family, the school, with the friends or in the advertising campaigns of eco-organizations. In my case I learn this in my family, but it not of an explicit form because the ecological practices are part of the country life.

In my habits I incorpore the recycling when I separate the rubbish, for example, the rest of food is for the hens of my house or throw it in the ground. Also, I give the glass bottles and tins to my uncle because he sell them. However, here in Santiago is much more difficult to practice the recycling… and in my apartment I don’t have a courtyard or hens and for this I would look for another form for recycling.

I prefer using my legs or a bike when I’m in my hometown. When I go to the university I use the public transport frequently.

I consider that these ecological initiatives are necessary for the protection of our environment. The organizations’ actions helped to solve the problem of the dam in Punta de Choros, for example. However, I don’t join or support any eco-organizations, because this require time and money, and at the moment I don’t have any of them. Maybe in the future…

I’d like to do anything for to help to create conscience about our environment and to learn more about this topic.

For to reduce my carbon footprint I have plants in my house and I am careful with the tipe of foods that I consume, for example, I prefer eating organic products.In our society, specially in Santigo, I consider that it miss more efective public politics, and to consider this problem as a fundamental aspect for the quality of life because in general are most important the interests of the big companies and it exist an irregular fiscalization.
