Seventh assignment: How green are you?

Well, I would dare to say that people learn about environmentally practices at their homes and schools. Normally, people are taught since childhood how to be green, and they kept it along their lives. Some families started making vegetable patches or separating garbage according the materials. At school, some subjects like Sciences and Ecology achieve this goal.

I’m not the kind of person who has the green concept deeply internalized. But I try to be friendly with the environment, people around me, animals and plants. I don’t throw garbage on the ground, I usually put milk cans or beer bottles into “the green containers”, I try to use few plastic bags, I usually have shorts showers, etc.

I love go for a bicycle ride and walking around Santiago, but I also use the car (only during weekends). I prefer outdoors sports.

Until today, I’m not joined an eco organization. Why? I actually don’t know. Maybe is because of my laziness. I think I rather prefer learning about eco practices by reading or watching interactive programs.

I would like to make a vegetable patch and recycle. Use newspapers or cans in order to create a piece of art. Invent eco friendly things in order to help people change their habits.

I must admit I have done anything in order to reduce my carbon footprint, but I consider I am an eco friendly person.

Finally, in our society we need to make some changes. Eco friendly practices need to be a general habit, we need to teach them at schools as a government plan. It’s not only for some people ´s care; it’s the print we leave future generations.
