How Green Are You?

In this occasion the interest topic is about “How Green Are You”? And  to start I think that people learn about environmentally friendly practices through of communications, for example: Television, Radio and Internet. I believe that majority of people take environmental practices due to ecological conscience that exist at present. This is due to the natural and artificial catastrophe produced by man and that affects the world in which we live  terribly 

The way in which I have incorporated recycling into my habits has been through a division of  trash, this is referring to separate paper, plastic and glass. So, we can  contribute to a better treatment of these materials in special paper; this last help to a world less deforested and more sustainable.

Another relevant topic is about use of bike or to walk instead of a car. This is very important, since this way we can understand some processes, this is: If one uses bike instead of a car, bus or other, it can  decrease the pollution, due to that release CO2 at atmosphere will be less. For this reason the people should  walk or to bike frequently, and of this manner also the people would have better physique state.

I joined to the organization called Greenpeace that it´s worry about a  more ecological world. This through of  very strong campaign, such as: environmental careful or protection whale.

I would like to make a contribution at Natural Environment, maybe through of my professional practice in the treatment of wetlands in Algarrobo town.

I believe that in Santiago it  is very difficult to establish behaviour, due to the world so industrialized in which we live. To finish this blog, I think that the only way to change this situation is through everyone and so we can live in a  cleaner and conscious world
