How green are you?


The people learn about enviromentally usually through the internet, alternative mass media, for experts on environmental issues and almost never for the oficial mass media or for government campaigns.

In particular, I incorporated some recycling habits in my life, for example, when I go to the supermarket , I use few plastics bags or use fabrics bags. Also, I recycle everyday things as bottles, cartons, batteries and other things that I can recycle in my home.

Also, outside my home, I walk when I go to nearby places, in my district. When I go to farawey places I use the public transport. Although, the public transport polluter, more cars in the streets more pullute. I use the bike usually not as transportation, but as sport.

I did not joined at any eco-organisations because I do not know many except Green Peace, and I think that I haven’t as priority the environment, but I know that this issue is a very important for our society and that the all people should help for have a cleanerd world.

another thing I do is not smoking. I think that the cigars pollute far, not more than a industry, but polluters also in a small measure. Something, I would like have access to more information about the enviromental, and learn techniques for recycling at home.

To reduce my carbon footprint, I haven’t done anything, because I do not what they are the carbón footprint, and I don´t how reduce.

In our society in general, and in Santiago in particular, we need much more information about the issue, to become more aware of the environmental problema, and the goverment should intervene in companies that cause pollution, and invest in researchs for made forms of energy that are less polluting and that this news forms of energy help the environment.

  2. Hi Jenni!

    The politicians and businessmans doesn't matters these problems. They are concerned only in the gross profit and elections to stay in his position.

    We must believe that we can make the change if in our daily routine we begin to do things as recycle, use the bike or a non-pollutant mean of transport, reduce our energy consumption, etc.

    At least, I still believe in humanity.
