The world would be better if people would learn to respect nature, and that is learned in the family. To most people lack education and culture and this is reflected in the municipalities of Santiago. in the uptown people worry much about having a clean, while in slums people do not care it.
My family always recycle boxes of milk and plastic and glass bottles, and since I was a child, they taught me to care for animals and nature, My parents always set me the example.
If I would live near of my university and my activities, I would ride in bicycle, but I walk always that I can. I use the public transport, in this way I help the planet.
I would like to supported any eco-organisations, but my father is who pay, so when I been adult, i will supported to Green Peace, but, if it were me I would go to a boat and I would go to the fight to avoid the killing of whales in Antarctica. I would not mind die for this noble cause.
In Santiago, and I think in most places in the world, lack awareness about this problem. Because the effects, only now, are perceiving, but the future generations are going to really suffer. I hope that somehow, We don't destroy our planet, because are the innocent who will suffer the dire consequences. I hope the people take aware about this problem taht affects us all.
Fran, I agree with you when you say that you learn green practices mainly from your family... but, at least in my case, I've learned a lot of these practices thanks to some friends and internet!
ReplyDeleteI think most of people do not recycle or do not have green practices just because they don't know anything about them, although sometimes it's only because of their laziness. But I've always thought it's hard to start, but once you've included a green practice into your habits it's very easy.
Maybe we should inform, promote and insist people we know to include the green practices we know into their habits.
See you!
