Class #7: It's not easy being green (but sometimes it's really helpful)

I admit that, for me, this topic it's kind of hard to talk about. I mean, I know that help the enviroment it's important and stuff. But, the thing is... I never really stopped to think about it. I'm not even sure if Global Warming it's something real, and I spend most of my time watching TV and movies and therefore I use a lot of electric energy.

So, yes I'm not exactly a mother nature's son. But... Does that mean I do absolutely nothing to help the enviroment? the Answer is: No... that means that I do things to help the enviroment...

All the thing I know about the enviroment, I learned from these guys...

Every time I buy a juice in a glass bottle, I dropped it in the glass can, same thing with the aluminium and plastic. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who do that in my university (probably not and I'm overreacting) but I'm glad to say that I take recycling seriously, at least inside the place where I study.

My family always buy these enviromental-friendly light bulbs who are really deficient and don't light up like... AT ALL... and they're really hurtful for the eyes. But if it helps the enviroment I guess it's worth to get blind in order to save the world for an energy crisis.

My father does not have a car. Well, he used to have one, but it get crashed, and since then we use public transport or simply we walk to our destinations. It's a shame that hybrid cars are too expensive for middle class people who neede the most, because I'd buy one of those if I could... but my family ain't the Rockefeller/Murdoch type so I guess it's better get used to the regular CFC producer cars...

And because the water it's another important resource to Mother Nature, now I'm taking shorter showers and spend the least amount of water possible. Personally, I'd like to NOT take a shower every day and instead and stay in my bed all day long. But even that it's considered dangerous to the enviroment. Afterr al, we're not vegetables.

But all these things I said are just nitpickings. I have no problem with help the enviroment to survive that abomination formerly known as mankind. It's easy being green, but sometimes we forget how important it is. To remind ourselves the importance of clean your enviroment, the only thing we need it's have common sense about it and don't be preachy of very smug when we spread the message. That's all.
