Our Future

Nowadays environmental subjects are forming part of different and important topics such as: political, sociable and educational matters. For example, in comparison with ten years ago now in Chile there are a lot of laws related with environment care; these laws are very important if we want to be in the future a developed country and more important if we want to be a healthy and sustainable country. For instance the 20.283 law about native forest and forestry foment is a very important tool for the conservation and protection of Biodiversity, particularly the conservation of endangered species and fragile ecosystems. But these initiatives are not enough, if we want to achieve a clean environment, the personal collaboration of all of us is very important, for example in our behavior and daily life we can change many things to contribute to diminish contamination and global warmth (i.e: sort trash for recycling), sometimes we are not aware that little things such as: bike instead of a car, halogen light bulb instead of normal light bulbs, glass bottles instead of plastic bottles, and many other things could make a significant contribution for this aim, however, the collaboration of all of us is essential. Closely related with this, one of the most important things is the education, particularly the environmental education; there are a lot of people without any knowledge about it and it is very necessary to become aware of environmental problems and know how we can contribute to solve it.
In my case, in the latest years I have been trying to develop some activities in my house to collaborate with this ecological purpose , for example sort trash in different categories, and use the organic matter to make compost. I know it is not enough, but I have been trying to do other things, but sometimes it is very difficult to change some old behaviors.
