I think in terms of ideas related to the environment I'm very green, but in terms of actions (which is what matters) I have not worked much with the environment.

From what I've seen, the main source of learning about respect for the environment is the family, because that is where take place the first and main practices about care of the environment. What does not happen at school, where in general has not been given much importance to this issue, neither in government policy, because they have imported more the results without worrying about the means to reach them (environmental damage).

Personally, when I have at hand the possibility of recycling I do, but these moments are few, because in our society there is no culture of recycling. Although I collaborate with other practices, such as cycling or try to transport me walking instead of polluting vehicles. As for the environmental organizations I am aware of its existence and support some of its causes, but not actively participate, mainly because there are some topics that I think are more dogmatic than reflective and do not consider all points of view.

I have done little to reduce my carbon footprint, but among them the use of dumpsters for recycling when I found them (not often) and avoid the use of polluting fuels for heating. I think we need more massification of the environmental practices and ideas in Santiago, and also install more trash cans for recycling paper, cans, glass and other kinds of garbage.
