Green conscience

Hello my reader. Today I talk about a very important issue: Environment and its protection, in special, that I think is the most important of all. What it will be? Read and discover it.

I think that the environment protection is a job of all people that it should be promoted principally by the government through plans and projects that are focused to change the mind of the chilean people on this subject, but you know this isn’t there.

In Santiago, the city that I live all the year, there are areas that promote this “green  conscience” through parks, cycle paths, organic food, buildings environmentally friendly (reduction of carbon footprint),  using alternative energy sources, using products that are friendly with nature, saving energy to use devices that consume less energy and so on. The things that I, you and all of us can do it is longer than this.

The problem is that this things and the people that do it, are preferably located in the towns (municipalities) with more economic resources –in the east zone of the Santiago- in contrast to towns of south zone. This is shown when we found cycle paths or organic gardens.

But I want to focus in the mind of the chilean people. Everyone speaks about environment, protection, alternative energy and so on. However, the majority don’t make anything, they’re only beautiful words that the wind takes. I think that the real change involves a deep change in our minds. This change begins at the elementary schools and at home. Each day there are many places, fairs and similar –really there aren’t a lot- that the people don’t take advantage of this opportunities. Is useless to promote this things if the people isn’t interested in this, if everyone of us says: “it doesn’t matter” The first step is change our minds and thinking about the environment and its protection and care. All of us must consider to the environmet like a part of us that needs care and attention.

Do you think the same?
