I’M NOT ECO-FRIENDLY AT ALL. I think this is very embarrassing, but it is true. It’s strange because my mom is always keeping our environment clean and healthy, maybe I’m too lazy.
I think people learn about environmentally friendly practices at home. I mean, of course a good teaching at school is important, but without the family example, that school lessons would be worthless.
Nowadays I’m living alone at my apartment. Often this condos offer something like recycling programs (separating glass from plastic bottles), but I ignore those practices. I don’t know why, because I don’t follow any “un-eco-friendly” practices or theories, I have no foundations in what I do. I just think that my effort is not necessary for a better world.
Well (I’ll sound like a hermit) but I don’t leave my house so often. So, I rarely use some transport methods. But when I do, I always prefer public transport: it is cheap for students in Santiago (not like other parts of the country), I can travel
long distances and I can take advantage of it and study while traveling. When I don’t use public transport, I use my legs because I hate bikers, they are so disrespectful!
Like you can notice, I don’t do anything to reduce my carbon footprint and I haven’t joined any eco-organizations. I think I can join other organizations, maybe for help homeless people, or defending some ideas that I agree with, but not with some environmental NGO.
Maybe, if we just use bikes, public transports or our legs, we are doing so much more for our environment than some big companies whose just pollute more than all the people living here.
You must change your vision about your life. Care your world!
ResponderEliminarHi Fernanda
ResponderEliminarI know your feel, I feel very embarrassed for my un-eco-friendly practices.
Maybe we can do more things for our environment.
We have different forms of seeing things, but certainly I agree that environmental education should be reaffirmed in the house!
