Today's activity :D

Well I found pretty interesting this activity because there are a many things that I didn't know about this topic, and it's really helpful to learn some other tips and information.
What I know abut the 3Rs is anything else but the name: recycle, reduce, reuse. I try to do my best at this. I'm lucky to have a municipal recycling park near my house so I can go walking to it (we don't have a car anyway). When we do this, about two times in the month, I realize how much waste we produce, and believe me, it is A LOT. When I go with someone else (any volunteer? haha) we both carry 5 bags in each hand full of recycling material, so 20 full bags. And it take us half an hour to deposit all in the correct container, plus the hour at home organizing the material in the different bags. So normally I spend the entire sunday morning doing this. But I don't care, I'm happy to do it, and when I go there and I see a lot of other people doing it makes me happy and keeps me motivated. And of course I'm always trying to reuse things, give them to other person/organization or sell them, I don't know. In fact I buy a lot of used clothes in the market instead of buying it in the mall. I use my flask to bring tea to uni instead of buying disposable cups. And many other things, you just have to be attentive to the things you do or use. For example, when I take a shower I try to cut the water while I'm washing my hair, sometimes it gets cold, but I rather prefer save water.
So I think this is a very important topic, and I believe that everybody should care and be informed about it, but sometimes I think that the government is not prepared to deal with it, there are not enough recycling parks, available information and I don't even want to mention the environmental public policies in Chile, that practically don't exist or are poorly developed :(
