Being green

Well, I think you can learn about being more environmentally friendly in many places. However, for me the best is to learn with others. I have learnt about recycling, composting with friends mostly. However, I used to be a lot more radical and concerned about the environment, until, in my view, I realized I could not save the world on my own. I was in Germany in 1998 and then, people separated rubbish, would not litter, etc. 1998!!!!! And here, it still doesn’t happen! No education, no money, no interest….etc.
In the past I made my own soap, detergent and shampoo. Now I cannot be bothered. I still take all bottles to the bottle bank, take all milk cartons, carton, paper and tins to the supermarket all the time, but that is more or less it. I use the bike to come here. However, this is the only campus where I do this because it is near. Normally I go places by metro or bus, sometimes the car. 
I think there are a lot of little things one can do to help the planet, starting by reducing the use of plastic, which I have. Not use STRAWS!!  Recycling, reusing and not to litter
And I didn’t. I used to come on the bike sometimes in the past, and this year I did not do it once. There are many more things one can do. 
My carbon footprint must be high. Terrible thing!
I think our society needs to be educated so we can all be aware of the importance of recycling & reusing and all the benefits it could have.

Write about the environment . Here are some ideas:



What things do you do that are environmental friendly? How can we help other be more environmentally friendly?
Do you think the Chilean government does enough to promote recycling?

What are the most common items that people recycle?

What things can average people do to protect the environment?

Write at least 250 words. Leave comments on my blog and the blogs of 3 classmates
