eco-chile

Chile it´s a country where lives a lot of people interested on the recycling subject, but there isn´t a real culture of this, in Santiago, people throw his trash to the streets, rivers and green zones like parks and squares and don´t care about it, because nobody teach them to be a clean person and that´s the base to protect the environment, be clean with it.

Also, there´s a few places to dump classified trash in order to recycle it, so it´s difficult for persons who  want to contribute to the cause, especially with technologic trash like computers, batteries.

This country needs more places to dump this kind of trash, and laws to create recycles systems in each town, and a better environment education to teach children to take care about the planet.

I have some habits to save resources, like unplug electric transformer, turn off lights and water when I don´t use them, and dump my trash in landfills, but I don´t recycle my trash, because there isn´t a place to do it near my house, also I never join or give support to a eco-organization because I don´t have the money or time to expend in it, but I know, when I finish my forestry career, I can will give my hand to protect the ecosystem with my own job.
