A green person

I have learnt environmentally friendly practices with my brother because he studied environmental engineering.  He has a big concern for the environment.

I always try to recycle my litter, and in my house everybody have a special concern with our garbage. About this, my mom makes your own compost with food waste.

Generally, I don´t use a bike as a transport because I use the public transport but I use my legs too. I really like walking.

I support to Greenpeace but my support aren´t economic. Sometimes the organization sends me e- mails to sign and to support any environmental cause in my country.  I think that my contribution is little but isn´t less important.  

I want that my country have other environmental policy. I would like make conscience on the people and I would like teach to people about the importance of to care the environment.

My brother is an expert to measure carbon footprint but He never has calculated our carbon footprint. However, I think that our environmentally friendly practices contribute to reduce our carbon footprint. Our environmentally friendly practices are: to reduce our energetic consume, to recycle (paper, metal and plastic), to make compost, to reduce our water consume, etc.

In our society missing environmental education and environmental conscience because the people don´t think in the damage caused to our planet. They think that our planet is eternal but isn´t.

In Santiago we have an awful pollution and our city is not a great place to living, the citizens have a lot of health problems for this pollution. Santiago don´t have any useful measure to avoid this critical situation of contamination.
