Little things to be a recycler person.

I think people can learn about environmentally friendly practices at home with little things like turn off the light and close water keys when you’re not using them or in the garden you should wet the floor before you sweep it because dust don’t pollute, for example.

I haven’t incorporated recycling into my habits because it demands a lot of time, I haven’t informed about the different practices and because I forget it. I think I don’t have mind. So, sometimes when glass break I throw the pieces into the common trash (then, I either separate the trash into organic, paper, plastic or glass)

I don’t have a car. I live so far of the university then I have to take bus and it take about an hour. If I used the bike, I would take two hours… It’s a lot. But in summer or holidays I try to use the bike as much it’s possible.

Sometimes in Ahumada street (or some like that Estado or Huerfanos I don’t remember the name of the street) in the centre of city, there are a lot of stand with different organizations, among them there are eco- organizations. I would like to join to someone but I don’t have a lot of recycling habits and they ask your signature, money and a pledge with the organization…so I don’t have enough time and money to take the pledge.

Well I think all people should learn little practices like trash separation or use the bike little more. Chilean government is very capitalist so the bike price go up in the last years I think. Besides there is not cycle paths in the far areas like La Pintana (before Transantiago there is one cycle path, the largest in Santiago, but we missed it). All is business. But these are little and easy things to start: trash and bike.
