earth, loved earth

Nowadays, the situation of the earth is not going for a good way. We, as humans, as the kind that controls the world, are not seeing the problems that are getting closer and closer to destroy the only place in the solar system that actually have the optimum conditions to have life on it.

We are not really used to take care of this big house, it is true. We throw every paper in our hands, we don’t turn off the light when is need, we prefer to go by car to the supermarket in the next corner only because it is more comfortable.

In this modern society, we have some opportunities to learn how to take care of our planet, but we don’t take advantage of them, though. In some schools and universities exists some programs of recycling, or there are some classes where is possible to receive knowledge about techniques related of being careful with the use of light, water, paper, gas, etc.

Personally, I don’t have the conditions to start an own programm of recycling, but everytime I can, I do it, like in the university. As far as my home concern, I do everything I can to controll the quantity of energy I spend in my diary life. I try to have short showers, to don’t use the TV and the computer too much, to read in the day to don’t turn on the lights in my bedroom, etc.

In the last summer I joined to a Chilean green organization that was called Araucanía sustentable. This organization tried everything to stop the construction of the press Hidroaysén, in the Baker river, Aysén. Sadly, this project was accepted by the actual government, even when the most part of the citizens were against the action.

Now, the thing that remains and that we actually can do is to be more aware and start with the education of the new generations about this imminent problem.
