Environmental Care.

Today, I’ll talk about environmentally friendly practices. I think everybody has different degrees of eco-friendly culture. Mostly, we learn about it in school, and our own homes, depending on how green our family is.

Since I remember, in my house we always turn off lights when are not being used, turn off faucets and classify our trash.  I would have to say I don’t have a real interest beyond turning off lights and faucets, but my mom takes good care of recycling and classifying trash in our house.

In general, I try to walk as much as I can, but like I’m always in a hurry, I usually take a bus or a cab. Also, I love to ride my bike, but a car ran over it, so I can’t use it right now.

When I was a little girl, I joined an organization that was eco-supportive and we recycled used batteries and stuff like that. Right now I don’t have any particular interest to belong to one of this organizations, because environmental care is not really my priority, but I’m aware of how important it is.

Besides this, I haven’t done anything else to take care of environment but in a future I would like to use my bike more often, because is very enjoyable and it makes me feel healthy and kind of free. Regarding to my carbon footprint, I don’t think I have done anything to reduce it, in fact, I had to look on the internet what does that mean.

In regards to Santiago’s environmental care, I think there should be more cycle paths so lots of people wouldn’t have an excuse to use the bike.
