A make up mark

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 money, no interest….
I still take all bottles to the bottle bank, take all milk cartons and tins to the supermarket all the time and switch off lights everytime I can but that is more or less it. I use the car to come here because I am exhausted. However, this is the only campus where I do this because I can park. Normally I go places by metro. It is terrible because the other day I took the car to the mechanic and I had to come here on the bus and I thought. “this is great” Cheap, quick, all right. Next time I’ll come on the bus. And I didn’t. I used to come on the bike sometimes in the past, and this year I did not do it once. What a disaster! What I’d like to do is to make sure to separate all rubbish (degradable, non degradable) but I don’t know if it would make a point because where I live, they just take the rubbish all together.
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 answering the following questions:



What things do you do that are environmental 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 300 words. Leave comments on my blog and the blogs of 3 classmates.

Santiago

Hi Bloggers,
Today we're going to talk our Santiago. Each and every one of us views the city form a different perspective that depend on many things. I was born in Temuco and later came to live here. I had the opportunity to live in England (Preston and Bristol) and in Germany (small town near Bonn) for a short time. I can say all 4 cities are radically different in so many ways. Weather, colours, people, urban planning, etc. Regardless of these things, your personal situation and frame of mind can also affect the way you view a city.
Write about your vision of Santiago.

What you like about the city and why,
What you dislike about the city and why,
