How green are you?

Nowadays because of the current situation about climatic change it is necessary to start thinking about how to help the environment, I think we all should start thinking green. Even I’m not part of eco- organizations (because I don’t have enough time), I always try to make little things everyday to reduce my carbon footprint, such as using compact fluorescent light bulbs at home, turning the faucet off when brushing or shaving, or walking instead of going by car, for example I go everyday to university by coach and subway because it is far from my house, I don’t use my own car that’s good, but it could be much better if I could go by bike or legs to university. I think it is important to awareness people about this topic, I guess  people usually know about this topic by the news or the mass media, but in my opinion in school this  should be a central topic of study, because the kids are going to be the responsible of our planet in a few years. It is important to recycle, we all know that, and that’s why in my house we try to never use plastic bags and if we have one we reuse it.  I think society, specifically Santiago from the government to every single person should start being eco-friendly, politicians should think about how their decisions impact the environment to make Santiago a better place to live. If I had the opportunity I’d do a recycle centre in my neighborhood.
