How green are you?

People learn about enviroment and its care in the school y sometimes in their homes. Generally there is not some much information of how can you care the enviroment. Usually people teach us somethings like you cant throw trash in some place. Although is very important, it is just a point of the pollution. The real problem is associated with some much way of make the things, like when you drive cars, industry and his combustion, the use of detergent, etc.
When I was a child I recycled glass, paper and plastyc. My parents had a garbage collector with separation. It was ver funny when we went to leave our things to a ecologycal place. This place was out Los Andes city. I live in Santiago since I was eighteen years old and I don't recycle becouse y don't have car or a near plce where I can leave my trash. It is not just that, I have not looked for a place where I can Recycle.
I use a bike in Santiago, but sometimes distances in Santiago are large so I can ride on bike. For example I use my bike to go to the University and I take fourty five minutes in arrive. If I want to go the center of Santiago I can not go in bike becouse thare some much cars and I they scare to me.
I had not been a member of organization, becouse I dont know how I can be incorporated o I dont have time for that. I believe that to help to world is not neccesary make that things. You can begin in your house to help at world.
I have reduced my carbon footprint getting shorter showers, using bike and using electric light only if it neccesary.
