How green am I?

I really try to be a green person, but the truth is that I don’t really think I’m one. I can’ say that I learn about taking care of the environment in the school or in high school, of course that I did all that stuff you do in the Technology class, like make a gift for the mother’s day with empty plastic bottles and all that, but nobody told me that when I eat meet or use my deodorant I was hurting the planet.

I think nowadays people learn about environmentally friendly practices from the Internet. The mass media have contributing a lot, now you can’t say that you don’t have the information necessary to be more green, the people isn't more green today cause is too expensive or just because they don’t have the time.

In family ­–for example– we don’t have a car, but we use the public transportation or we just walk when we can. I don’t even have a bike.  The only things we recycle in my house are the garbage bags, we never buy garbage bags. We use the bags we get when we go to the supermarket.

The thing I actually do and I’m very proud of –even when I keep it to myself– is that I love to use Natura products, I love that them are eco-friendly and you can eve use their shampoo in a river and you won’t be contaminating! And also I like the fact that they products are not tested in animals. I’m not a vegetarian, but when you can chose what kind of make up you can buy I think this thins matters.

I follow some eco-organizations in Facebook and Twitter, but I don’t really have ever joined or supported them really. Why? Well, I don’t know, time? Maybe money… Anything. But I think, more, I hope that someday I will do it.
