Time to think green

Internet has been the best alternative-information source in the last years. Since being green became a subject, I think most of the practices we have adopted it's because of the internet. That way, Greenpeace and other NGO's campaigns have reached more people than they ever did before. 

I live in a small apartment, so there's many thing I'd like to do but I can't like having my own vegetable garden. Instead, I do other things that help reducing contamination. We produce so much garbage that it's nearly impossible to recycle and produce the same amount, but in my house we re-use things like tea bags, egg boxes and plastic bags. Also, we try using the less water we can by: using the washing machine full (and not half-full) of clothes, taking short showers, closing the faust while washing the dishes, etc. 

Usually, when I have to go somewhere I walk there. Only when it's not a "walkable" distance I take the subway or the bus. I try minimizing the use of the car to the less possible, and try to never go with just one person. There's so many cars in Santiago that doing that only contributes to our bad life standarts, with tons of traffic jams and contamination. I think it's important for people to learn that, because using a car seems to be a signal of a good status, but it's just harming the planet and making everything worse for all of us. 

I think people should be more aware of the fact that we do not own this planet. We are just passing through. We should think more of the future life that will come, not just our children, but all the livings things that we share this planet with. Making awareness now will help to save - or at least not destroy - the planet in the long run.
