In general,
people don’t have any environmentally friendly practices. Our society doesn’t
mind care the world where we’re living. They are too busy to think about
it because we only take care about the money and our jobs and responsibilities.
The few people,
who care about environmentally friendly practices, learn those practices in
their homes and the school when they are young, but nothing else. But today,
people who want to learn those habits can use the internet to do it.
Santiago
needs some campaigns about the importance of our environment. There are not any
TV spots or any authority who want us to take care about of this issue. There are
not enough recycling can in this city too, so the people don’t mind to get any
conscience about the environmental issue if we don’t see anyone else taking
care about it.
I don’t
have an environmental friendly culture, but I try to reduce my carbon footprint
trying to not abuse of the water, using the paper for the print or photocopies
by the two sides, or trying to not drop the biodegradable things into the
garbage cans, if it’s not necessary. One day, I tried to put a Coca-Cola bottle
into the toilet tank, because you can safe water. I didn’t do it to get a
cheaper water bill, I did it because I tried to think in the environment, I
promise.
Personally,
I don’t join or support any eco-organization, because I don’t know what is
required to join them, but I would like to do it someday.
I think the frist sentence may be an exaggeration. Because beyond the trendy aspect of environmental issues, it's a fact that people has change (or is changing) some of their habits. Now you can see lot's of people of all ages are bike-riding along the city, to get on shape, to avoid the transantiago bad service or for any other reason. So think about it
ResponderEliminarAnd secondly, I really like the bottle in the toilet tank! it's simple to do, and effective.
