Blog Session 8: How green are you?

Really I don´t know where the people learn about environmentally friendly places. I think that we can find this type of information in eco-organizations websites or in the information delivered by the Ministry of Environment of our country.

In general, In my house I don't have too much habits of recycling (like separate the garbage in different boxes according to the type for example) but I have a lot of conscience about how we must manipulate the garbage and the natural things around. 

I like to ride a bicycle but I won't use it to go to my university because I would be late to classes, (this is not a good excuse, I know, but it complicate the things) and in general, it isn't exists good ways for the peoples who cycling. 

I haven't joined any eco-organisations, because is not inside in my priorities. But I know the importance of the jobs of organizations like Green Peace.

In our society we need more conscience about the importance of recycling and the care of nature. Specially in a city like Santiago, recognized for its air contamination (pollution). We need more green areas in the city for a many reasons. For one side, the threes have the important capacity of clean the air. For other side, in green areas like parks we can find a special place to practice sports and do outdoors activities. In the city, every time is most necessary to create special ways for bicycles. Where the people can move across Santiago in their bicycles without  the problems of be crashed by cars or hit walking people. We need a new culture in this aspect.
