Post 8 How Green Are You?

Hello friends!!!

Today I will talk about how I care for the environment. I know we can do many things to help the environment, but where we can learn it? On the internet, there are much information about this subject, also there are foundations that are responsible for teaching the people environmentally friendly practices.

I know that caring for the environment is incredibly important, for this reason, I try to help protect it. I recycling materials such as cardboard and paper. When I was a secondary school student, I made very beautiful notebooks with the papers of my notebook.

In addition to recycling, I think to walk or using bike are a great idea !!. I generally do not use the bike to transport me, because there is not exclusive cycle tracks and it is very dangerous, but I walk when I have to travel short distances, for example 2 km.

At present, I do not participate in any organization, because I do not have time, but I think participating in these is a nice experience. In the future I would like learn more about these organizations and about environmental care.

I try to reduce my carbon footprint making the following activities:

-Reducing electricity consumption

-Making responsible procurement

-Using the car to transport themselves only when I travel long distances

-Recycling and reusing materials, such as paper, paperboard and bottles.

I believe what are missing in our society is to understand the importance of caring for the environment. I think if we manage understand that the environment gives us life, we would care it much more.  In Santiago I consider we need to create exclusive streets for bicycles, and also we need to create green areas, because the trees give us life.

Kind Regards!!!
