Recycling!

Today I´m going to write about the environment, about how ‘green’ am I. Someone who is called green is someone who really cares about the planet, specifically about the environment. These days are an important topic around the world!  In fact, since the documental “An Inconvenient Truth” of Al Gore came out, I feel that this topic increase his importance.

With this movie and other kind of documental, people can learn about what they can do in his life for helping the planet. Now more and more people thing that recycling is something that you most in your home, and actually more people are in fact doing it. In my home, we recycle many things: tetra pack boxes, bottles, cardboard, paper, cans, etc. My mom started with this new habit, and very quickly we learn to do it, and now is a habit in my house in Rancagua and here in Santiago. However, I´m not a ‘tree huger’ or anything likes that. I do save energy in home, but I do it for the bills most of all.  

In a regular day, I don´t do much for the planet: I traveled in bus every day, I don´t use bike, I don´t separate organic trash, etc. however, I think that a lot of person don’t do that and not because they are not worried about environmental; they don´t do it, and I don´t do it either, because is not easy and our society doesn´t make it any easier: if we had a recycling culture, would have different trash can out of our houses, and the garbage truck would be separated spaces for different type of trash: paper, organic, non organic for example. Unfortunately, that doesn´t happened here in Chile, not even in Santiago. However, where I live here, in Ñuñoa, we have many facilities for recycling.      

In conclusion, I thing that people is knowing about importance of recycling, but isn´t easy in  our society.
