Post 12 => Ecology!

Hello comrades. Today we have to talk about the environment and ways of recycling. The reduce, reuse and recycle are the basic principles that taught us to have a more sustetable environment.

I learned this at school. In fact, my school was certified as an environmentally school. Always doing activities related to ecology: composting, recycling paper, solar panels, etc. I remember once I made a life-size room with cardboard for green school fair. Also I remember that TVN interviewed some colleagues for the initiative.

In my daily life I do not use much recycling, but I should do it more often. Although I put myself preferring public transport or just walking.

The only thing I've seen in relation to the recycling Santiago is that departments have an "ecological shaff" where elements such as cardboard, glass and plastic is added. I hope that these elements really are recycled and do not join with traditional trash.

Currently I have not seen at the University ecological movements as there was in my school, but what comes closest is the sustainable garden in which I have participated in workshops. It is an interesting and satisfying experience while because you feel that the self-sustainability is closer than you imagined. I think in santiago lack a strong focus on increasing green areas and reduce pollution in all its types. This could be done by increasing the quality of public transport, to the point where people prefer to use it instead of their own vehicles, as happens in most developed countries and in Europe.

That is my opinion on the subject. Thank you for reading.
