The nature and the environment for me...

In general, the people don’t make a lot of things to take care the environment; they know about the practices and habits for a good support of the nature but they don’t have the mentality to value all the natural things that we have around of us.

Sometimes, the schools and some ecological organizations make campaigns to achieve a most friendly attitude of the people for the environment and for the nature, animals, flowers-trees and plants, the water, the hills and the dirt; but is not a lot of people that take care the environment…. And I don’t know what is the reason; maybe is the habit, or the little social aware about the danger that makes the contamination in the earth. Sometimes the kindergardens and the first grades of education in the school, achieve that the little children care and love the nature, and in general in our society; the old people is more attached to the environment and the natural spaces because they grew in a world without technology and gray spaces; and all we know that the majority of the grandmothers love so much the plants and the gardening.

I can say that in my life I never take care so much the environment, I don’t recycle things, and I never participated in eco-organizations, etc. I like so much the plants and the animals because are very beautiful, and sometimes I try to don’t throw the wrappers on the ground, but I accept that the reality is that I don’t have a great conscience to take care the water, the light, and the air contamination, because I never try to ride a bike. I always walk some distance to the bus or to the subway and I don’t use a car but I use the collective locomotion.

Well, is true that I like the green spaces, I love so much to go to natural places full of trees and plants and green hills and lakes and rivers and flowers and dirt roads and a lot of wild animals, without gray streets and big buildings and commercial places; but I admit that I never make things to take care the environment but I thnik that one of the reasons is that we grew up in a society that is not interested in the natural things, and where the only thing that is important is the technology and the modernization; where all the efforts that you make for preserve the nature are in vain.

I only can say that I expect that if in Santiago we can’t make anything to preserve the natural places because all or the majority of them are dissapeared, but I expect that all the other places that our country even has, how are some towns, regions, beaches and communes never run to the modernization, because are all that we have yet, with all the nature and the native environment that this was born in the past.
