How green am I?


Well, I don't know exactly where people used to learn about environmentally friendly practices, maybe the children do it at school, and the older people do it seeing other persons doing it or maybe searching information in internet. In my personal experience, I don’t use to recycle, because I don’t know where recycling companies are, and also, we don’t have a car for carry the trash. But I use to occupy plastic bags, bottles, cardboard boxes, etc, until they are useless... I try to occupy it again and again, and don’t throw it.
About the cars, how I said before, I don’t have one, so I need to use my own legs... I don’t have the habit of using the cycle, because I don’t know how to use it very well.Sometime ago, I tried to join to “Greenpeace”, but I didn’t do it because I’m not vegetarian, and I thought that people would look at me with bad eyes for that reason. But I helped them with signature collections, for example for save polar bears of the Arctic.  Also, I’m always seeing information about environmental things, like documentary, press articles, etc. In the future I want to recycle and have a lot of plants and trees hahaha J and also I want to have a big piece of land, where I could have a lot of homeless dogs and cats, or maybe every homeless animal in the world. I’d like to have an electric car too.
For reduce my carbon footprint, I don’t take long showers, we turn off and unplug electric things that we are not using in that moment. We changed paraffin stove for a gas stove. And I think that the society don’t have awareness about environmental problems; personally I think that a lot of people are disconnected with the nature, they think that people and nature are different things, but we are only one, we need nature and nature need us.
