Let's recycle!

The word "recycle" has been part of my language since I've memory, my family have always recycled and helped the enviroment with this practice, well, it is not all my family, just my mom, but as I'm very close to her I learned this from her. 

I always separate the things to take them to this special place where they recieve all the stuff, like, when I drink a can of soda I always put it apart, not in the normal trash with all the other things, so yeah, I think I've incorporated these recycling habits in my life and they don't bother me at all, I really like to do these things, I feel like I'm helping to have a better world in the future. 

Well, I'm not that green, I don't use a bike and I don't like to walk that much, the only "green" thing I do is recycling, I don't really like to ride a bike so I think that's why I'm not interested in that kind of thing.

As I said I separate the trash in my house, I'm not in any kind of eco-organization or something, I don't think I've to join an organization to help with something, I can do it on my own in my house without the need of an organization 

After we separate everything with my mom we always go to a supermarket near our house where they receive the recycling and leave everything there, it is like a routine for me and my mom and I really love it, it is something we are use to do, like a mom and daughter time. Something that my mom and me would like to do is to have a compost to put all the organic waste, but we can't have it in our house because it is not that big, so the smell of that would be awful, although we have thought to buy a special compost for small places (it is like a trash can) but we haven't bought it just because we've forgot about this. 

I don't think I've ever thought about reducing my carbon foorprint, I don't know how I can reduce that and it has never crossed my mind to do it, I'm not sure if with the things I already do I reduce this footprint or not, but well, let's hope it does. 

I think a very important thing to teach in school when we are young is about recycling, it is not that hard, it is not something that's impossible or that would take a lot of time, so I really think that the most important thing here is to teach the young kids about that, and well, it would be awesome to have more places to take the recycling, because sometimes there are not that many places so you have to drive and drive just to leave all your recycling because some places just receive certain kind of things (bottles, tetrapak and newspaper) and not all the other things that you can recycle like cans, plastic bags, batteries, and so many other things, and it is really annoying to arrive to that place and realize that you can't leave your recyling there because they only receive some things.
