How green are you?

For telling the truth I’m not a very green person. In school, teachers never tried to teach us about conservation and recycling till we were grown up. I certainly believe that schools should teach students how to recycle and care about environment since they are children; because like that, kids will learn this as a habit for their entire lives.

The things I tried to do for the benefit of the Earth is not waste water while I’m brushing my teeth or when I’m taking a shower. I always turn the lights off after leaving a room; and try to repair or reuse objects in bad condition or which are considered trash. My family and I try to recycle the bottles and cartons we use at home. We don’t do the whole recycling process by ourselves, instead of that; a person passes by once a week and removes the objects we collect. Besides that we don’t help much more trying to reduce our carbon footprint.

The way I transport from one place to another is by subway and bus. Not just because cars produce higher levels of pollution than any other means of transport, for its massiveness, but the time traveling is less than by car. Also you can avoid the traffic that overwhelm people and is cheaper.

About supporting eco-organizations, I have never done it. Maybe it's because I’m too lazy to help them as volunteer. I should try to do more to help this planet from global warming.
