Hello,
Today my topic is about environment and how green I am.
To start, I think family and school are the most important places to learn about how to take care properly of environment and the earth.

Normal Sydney´s recycling bins
Sadly, I have to say that I used to do a lot of recycling. When I lived abroad I learnt a lot about recycling. I always used different bins for rubbish and separated everything before throwing it away.
It was very normal and easy to get the habit because everyone did it. However, when I came back home it was almost impossible to keep doing it, because here were not the conditions to do a proper recycling. I was so sad when I tried to separate my rubbish without realizing that it was useless as at home we just have one bin for all the rubbish.
Normally, I take the bus or use car so in this way I´m not green at all. I guess it is because Santiago is not a city for cyclist. 
I used to support Greenpeace. I am not a current member, though. To be honest I have no a good reason for not being a member.
In the near future I´d would like to be an active member or Greenpeace or at least support them with money. They do a great duty and it is important not to let them alone.
I think recycling is a huge problem in Chile, particularly in Santiago. We have to change our mind and it is also a government task to resolve our current contamination issues which are not few. At the end to have a cleaner planet is everyone´s job!
 
See you nex time!
