Well, today’s topic it’s about beeing green.
Here in Santiago I know about two places where people can learn about environmentally friendly practices: Casa de la paz foundation and Bosque Santiago. The first institution works to consolidate the involving of people to resolve ambiental problems (they also work whith companies, schools and other too) and they make recycling activities to educate people, so they can create relationships based on trust and colaboration, and then to increaise the involving os citizen in the care of our own country in an ambiental perspective.
The second, It’s a center of ambiental education created by Parque Metropolitano de Santiago, its focus is the development of moral values and to realize about the importance of our environmen, how to take care of it and the conservation of the nature. they made different kind of informal activities at the open air.
To tell the truth about me, I don’t have many enviromental conscius practices in my everyday life, it’s not because I don’t want to, but in the rush of the week, I kind of forget about it. . I’m not a part of any formal eco-organization neither, beacuse they consume time, and I don’t too mucho of it right now. But maybe I can consider one: Il Quattrocento, the student anthropology magazine (which I joined a few months ago) is trying to release a number about Culture and Environment. At least I don’t use a car because I live near the university, I go on foot and I don’t get out too much, so unconsciusly I’m reducing my carbón footprint

I don’t really know what I could do about any problems, it’s seems so big, but I think I can start trying to not muder my own plants (I forget to take care of my brother’s plant and it died).
Here in Santiago the contamination is awful, and people has some disgusting habits, I hate when somebody throw papers or garbage out of a window when they are driving or on a bus/taxi/car. We need to grow a real conscience and act like it really matters, do something little maybe, talk with your neighbor to solve a mutual problem, or in my case to decide a place where we can throw out the garbage and do it at the same time, only when the dustcart pass, so we don't have a gigant pile 24/7.
rocio i liked the forum of today that the magazine Il Quattrocento organizated. i learned about Casa de la paz foundation and Bosque Santiago, was interesting the first presentation, i can't listen the second because we have English class!

Thank you about the information of the places where you can learn more about the environment. It's really a good information.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about the places to get information about the enviroment problems!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, that my conscience it's not very careful too, but we have to try to do something.
I think it's very important to keep the environment and being aware of it, we all sometimes we forget or do not consider it, hopefully in our society can learn mejors ecological habits.
