Blog Session 6: How green are you?

Sincerely I don’t do anything to avoid pollution, I just complain sometimes about it. People can learn about these practices in a lot of places, but I think that the better place to do it is Internet, because there we can be in contact with all the organizations that work with these subjects, and with all the information that they upload. I haven’t tried recycling, but I would like to do it because is good for our planet and our environment. In Santiago I just use my legs because I’m poor and I don’t have a car (I nearly have money for the BIP!), and I really don’t like cars very much, I prefer bikes. I haven’t supported eco-organizations principally because I don’t know their real intentions in terms of their policies, maybe one day I will join some of this organizations, I’m interested at the ones that work in my university. But now, writing this I remember that in High School I supported the committee of environment in their work of planting trees and in the recuperation of a garden that was covered by junk. We worked really hard for about a week, and it was a really good time because I met a lot of people, and we saw how the garden was finally alive again, but now I’m really disappointed because the authorities of school didn’t do anything to take care of the garden, and now is full of junk again. I think that Santiago has a huge lack of policies in this subject, many people want to take care of environment but they really don’t know how, the population needs to be instructed.

This is why I don't support this eco-organizations

I don't have a car
