Mother Nature

I think you can learn about being more environmentally with others. In my case I have learn about recycling with my friends, in the university there a group that works in an orchard. My dad recycles and uses a bicycle, he tries not to take bags and in his business people buy with reusable containers, for example to buy rice, sugar, flour, etc. I try not to throw cigar butts on the floor, do not use plastics or waste water.

The Chilean government has no interest in promoting recycling because there is no business behind a measure to favor the environment; we have seen it with the hydroelectric plants, with the natural parks that are now being granted by the current government. The last government, banned plastic bags in the entire Chileans coast, but generated a business with cloth bags. We lack public and social policies on recycling and the environment, so that we have a culture of recycling, respect and care for our environment. If the government does not do it, less will the people.

The items that most people recycle are bottles, cartons milk, paper, cardboard, jars and tins. As well the people can decided not to buy plastic anymore and use only glass if possible or use the bicycle in replacement of the car. There are people that make its own detergent, shampoo, bas soap, etc. Make your own personal hygiene tools is a very good way to take care of the environment!!

This is the space that Mother Nature has given us and we must return that space healthy once we go physically.
