In general the people learn in the primary
school about environmentally friendly practices, but I got out of the school a
long time ago.
I honestly don’t consider myself an
environmentalist person; I do not care much recycled or that kind of things.
However, I think that I am not a person that
pollutes both, ie, I use public transportation, not a personal vehicle and I walk whenever I can.
In my defense I can say that I am not a habitual
consumer of technology, I’ve had two mobile phones in my life, when average
people change theirs all the years. Nor I occupy artifacts that require
disposable batteries and I brush my teeth with the closed tap.
It's curious but on reflection I think that I don’t
pollute so much, actually I would bet that pollute less than the average
person. However, I think we all need to improve our relationship with the
environment.
Especially companies, in this regard our role
as consumers is buying products that are made with recycled materials. That can
help us to reduce own carbon footprint.
In Santiago this is very important considering the inadequate ventilation of the city, maybe the
first step would be to build more bicycle paths.
It is also important to see that Chile and its
water reservoir and Latin America in general, play a strategic role in the
development of society. In that sense the key has to be the idea of
sustainability.
