I´m sorry but nowadays I´m not Green! :(

I must confess that I don´t have many environmentally friendly practice. I haven´t joined any eco-organizations, I don´t recycle and I use public transport every day.
But in my defense, I could say that I don´t have enough time and money for that kind of activities, I always see people of Greenpeace in Baquedano underground station but I can´t join to the organization because I couldn´t pay the fee, and I couldn´t participate actively in the ONG. I don´t recycle because I don´t have time for do it, and it needs organization and work separating the things that you can recycle. Finally, I don´t walk or ride a bike to my daily activities because I don´t live close to my faculty, and sincerely I was born and grew up in the country side and I think that driving a bike in Santiago is too dangerous.
I know that many people learn about environmentally friendly practices at the internet or watching television programs on National Geographic or Discovery Channel, and I deeply feel that is a really valuable practice because the planet and the humanity need changes, we need to realize that we just can´t think in the present time forgetting about the future of our descendants. That necessity has a reflex in the situation of our city. When I was younger I heard that Santiago was the second most contaminated city in the whole world (the first was Mexico City), and that is a terrible thing.
One of the things that I expect to do to help our world is develop my thesis about animal abuse and animal rights. I hope that I have good luck with it.
