How green are you?

When I was a child and I came to Santiago it was a shock to smell the air and see the poluted sky. Santiago is the hell of enviroment activits and a big part of that problem is that we are not an enviromentally friendly culture. I don't remember this issue as a big topic when I was on school - it's not part of the program. So a lot of people doesn't take this seriously. The good thing is that we can do something about it: been responsable and raising awareness. I try to be responsable with the waste of the things I use, I always throw them to the trashcan and I encourage others to do the same - I get angry with others if they don't do it. Also, I use public transportation and I walk a lot (a healthy habit).
If you want to help the enviroment you can separate the trash, build a compost, reduce the amount of water you use, etc. We are not only helping the enviroment, we are helping ourselves. This is were we live and little actions can make huges differences on the quality of our lifes and other people lifes too.
