POST 7 HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

People don’t learn environmentally friendly practices without difficulty. At least, not the people I know, including myself. I think that that is a consequence of the places we live in. We live downtown, or in the suburbs, and these are classical non-healthy places. One could say that, but I also think that it’s up to each one of us to learn by ourselves, selfeducation and all that kind of things that people do when they are really interested in learning and do something. Not wait that ideal resources are availables. And that’s why I think that I haven’t made a real compromise, because little things, like recycle, are very difficult for me to start to do. Not because I can’t, its only that I just don’t do it, and I would really love to start doing it.

I’ve always used a lot my legs and my bicycle to move myself around the city. My first reason wasn’t ecological, although, it was economic. Traveling in the public service has become very expensive. But, I have to recognize that now I’ve became more conscious about the necessity of stop using so much cars and buses, because all the smog they produce.

I think that we need, with urgency, it’s a better environmental education, at all levels in our society, because that’s an issue that involves all the aspects of our lives, and of the others.
