Post 7: How Green Are You?

Maybe I'm not so green but I love nature since I was a child. Always my family teach me to respect the nature and take care of it mostly becouse I come from a family of farmers.

My house  has always been sorrounded with green (trees, grass, and different kinds of plants) but not only in order to decorate but also in order to home comsume of fruits or vegetables. When I was a child I also loved to play climbing trees or hinding in the vegetation.

I think people don't learn about environmentally friendly practices because there's no clear public policies or incentives measures like recicling. For example where I live there's no places for recycling but my family for a long time has incorporated as an habit separate organic wastes from the others and we also have a container for aluminium cans and  for plastic bottles. I also try to use my legs everytime it's possibly and in the house we have 3 bikes to move arround.

I don't have joined or supported any eco-organizations mainly because I believe that our society has bigger problems than recycling. But I also believe that the goverment or even the councils could do more efforts in order to create public policies for recycling. For example they can set up certain areas for recycling where the people could put their glass/plastic/metal wastes apart from the other trash or they can implement measures for reforesting or create more green areas.
