How Green are you?

Things that we can learn about ecology are mostly at internet. There are no much campaigns about that, or, at least, there are no real effective campaigns about. I could say that here in Santiago there’s more “green conscience” that in another cities, but I think is not enough, it’s far from enough.
I recycle plastic and paper/cardboard. I make “ecobricks”, plastic bottles that you fill with plastic. I don’t use them because I don’t have where, but I give them to people that build dog houses or things like that with ecobricks. My family have never had a car, so I always walk, use bike or public transport. I would like to make a blog to teach people how to re-use things. People use to think that everything that you don’t use has to go to thrash. But there are some beautiful things that you can do by re-utilize wrappers, for example. At school I had an art teacher that taught me how to make wallets with wrappers. Things made by “eco design” are very original, by the way.

There’s a lot of way left in this issue. Is not just about people that through garbage in the street. Is about that “green conscience” is lacking. Just few people are conscious, for example, about the great amount of plastic that they use every day, or about the contaminating that cars are. Government, at the other side, is not interested in this issue, or not the way they should be. For me, this is an urgent aspect and we can't ignore it anymore.
