Yes,
I recognize that I have spirit for the environment care but I can’t define myself
as an ecologist. I think back in my education and I can’t find a teaching about
this topics. Maybe, in my times of college, the care of the planet was a secondary
worry behind the development of the science, technology and productivity –the
capitalism ideology had win. But in this time, is a big problem specially because
of the phenomenon of the global warming and the climate change, a worldwide
issue.
Well,
I think that the people learn most of time about environmentally friendly
practices from the Internet and/or friends, because in this country doesn’t
exist a conscience about the problem. In this sense, I learn some habits about
the earth care, like how to dump the oil inside a bottle –and not in the
dishwasher- or accumulate the organic material in a special garbage dump
–compost- for use as organic fertilizer. Well, also I use the bike for my
displacement in the city, although Santiago is the worth city for moving in
bike because it doesn’t have the street with a special space for the bikes.
Currently,
I´m not participation in any environmental organization because I don’t have
time for more activities, but I don´t discard a participation in the future, I
would like to have an organic garden, to grow some vegetables, ideally not
transgenic ones.
Finally,
the two things that I’m now doing to reduce my carbon footprint are: to use the
bike and to use low consume light bulbs. And the big missing issue to do in our
sociality is change the disposable logic, because everything around us has been
made to last every time less, so then
you need to buy new stuff.
