Is a common
thing that our parents or teachers talk us about environmental protect, but I think
the real change of our actions comes with a revelation. I remember when I saw
for first time the Al Gore’s movie “An inconvenient truth”. It cause a deep impression
in me (and in the entire world). Inmediatly, I though in make the difference. I
never threw away water again. The same thing with the energy. I couldn´t
understand how people turn the light or TVs on and left the room as if nothing
had happened. Sometimes I turn those off in secret, when I visit other houses.
If i needed
saw a movie to be more environmental friendly…How about the other people? I
think the human condition is blind about things that cannot feel directly. The Chilean
culture is a TV culture and I remember some advertising about the correct use
of the energy, but this format is limitated. The plastic bag’s law is a
triumph, but came here so late
The most
common things that people recycle is glass and paper but all our activities
generate other kind of trash. For example, I buy a lunch every day and the
package is bigger than the amount of food. I don’t use straws and every time I keep
the plastic bags that sellers give me (In an obligatory way) but life is hard L a couple of days ago my roomie
throw away my bag collection and I don’t even had thinking about what to do
with those. I know there is a lot of things to do that depends of our level of
knowledge and motivation. So, I think I need a new “revelation”. And you?
its difficult to change a culture or the mentality in a short time.
