HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

Since I was a child my parents educated me to respect all creation of God, including the environment, animals, plants, humans, everything, and until today I practice that. In my house we have a lot of plants, and everyone cares of them. We don’t have recycling habits because is too difficult to have them. The municipality of our community doesn't give to people the facilities to recycle; in fact they hinder the development of that habit. So what we do to help the environment is walk a lot. If we need to go somewhere near to our house we don’t use the public transportation or something, we walk, only when we have to go to our study places, that are far away from our home, like university, we use the bus.

I don’t consider myself as a Tree-Hugger because I’m not quite in love of nature like that people. I really like places full of nature, but I don’t do so much to defend it from people that kills it. I’m not joined to any eco-organization for example, or I don’t argue with people that don’t care about the environment. I only do what I think is better for the ecosystem.

I’d like to recycle, but I think that it may be a hard habit to develop in my house right now. Maybe when I live alone I will do it. And I’d like to come to the university by bicycle too, but I’ll do it when the city of Santiago has the bike ways suitable for that.
