How green are you?

Environmentally problems are very important in our time, especially because of the most of contamination from factories and people in general. For that reason is important to learn about enviromentally friendly practices, and you can learn about it everywhere, from a friend, from your family, from social networks, and of course, it must be (but isn’t) an important topic in public politics. In my family topics about environment are very important, so for example we pay a lot of attention about our garbage. Fortunately, we have a lot of space in our house, so we can have compost for organic garbage and then use it for plants. Also, we separate all we can, and the most of time we try to use it in other things (like carboard), or plastic bags, and time ago we did “ecoladrillos” but we let it for a while. Despite of that, I would like to have more order to recycling, and with my dad we want to use “clean energy” in our house, but we have to planned it well. I would love to use bike instead a car, but is very difficult to me use it every day, because a live so far away from university, but I use public transport a lot, and when some of our family come to Santiago, or go to home, in a car try to tell others to take an advantage of the travel. When I was a child, I  enjoy to a group of kids of “greenpeace”, but I don’t stay there for a long. I think every day I try to do more things to reduce my carbon footprint, because I think it is important for everyone, and is related to our way of life too.

In our Society this topic is not very important yet for everyone (is more like a “trend”), I think is important to realize that it is a problem in all the topics of life and not only the way we “take charge of our garbage recycling”. It is related to the way of the production system is propose, but I’m sure we can do a lot of things to change it.
