Environment Preservation

I think the preservation of environment must be one of the most important topics globally nowadays, but many countries, people and organisations don’t take it seriously and instead of helping by educating common people and commercial companies, they decide to ignore it for “more important topics”. 

Schools are places where you can learn to protect the environment but sadly not all schools have an enough level of resources to teach properly about preservations to its students but I definitely think family and school are the best places to learn about this because people have to take the habit since they are kids. For me, since I live in a house that isn’t mine I can’t do all the things that I do in my home in another city, but here I try to always get my electronic devices unconnected to energy and not waste it innecessarily when I’m not using them. Also, in my city Puerto Varas people can’t use any type of plastic bag to buy in any supermarket and small shops because they were prohibited, so all the people must use bags of a material that don’t affect environment and it’s really good. I love to bike but I can’t do it in Santiago because I am afraid of the streets full of cars so I don’t want to take the risk, and I can’t walk to university because I would have to wake up extremely early to get in time to classes. 

I have never been in an eco organisations mostly because I don’t have the time to really dedicate myself for that, but I really would like if time was not a problem. 

It’s really difficult to implement in Santiago serious measures about protecting the environment because being a really large city the pollution just increments day by day with all the cars and garbage that people produce, but obviously one must do all that can be done at least to minimize the pollution, and I think government and early education have a big role in this.
