It's not that easy being green...

This week’s post is about being green, but not in a Kermit way J I think people are getting more involved to environmental issues today because it’s a global disease. The kids learn about recycling in kindergarten now, and they make their families to be more careful about it.

In my house, we are trying to incorporate recycling into our habits, reusing plastic stuff, and making fertilizer with organic garbage.

I have to be honest, I don’t ride bikes because I don’t know how to, but I try to use Metro and walk if the place I’m going is nearby.

You can have a vertical garden on any place

I don’t participate on any eco-organizations, but I think it’s important organizations like that exist. When I was in high school, I was part of the Students Council, and with my partners we created a project for the school’s community to participate. It was an environmental week, we wanted to have discussions for the middle and high school kids, and we wanted them to teach the elementary kids about how they could take care of the planet.

I think it’s important that all of us have a garden at home, even a vertical one if you live in a flat. It can help to contain our carbon footprint, and we can also use eco-friendly electronic devices that produce less carbon than a regular electronic device.

Our city isn’t designed to help the environment, because we live in a very low valley that has no ventilation. I think architects that are in charge of design those new skyscrapers that are being built in “Sanhattan” have to have “green facades” instead of mirror ones, so we can reduce the temperature of the city.
