Blog Session 7 How green are you?

Going green has become trendy. Politicians and celebrities are always talking about it, and most companies offer green versions of their products. But what exactly does it mean to go green?

Green living is a way of life in which people make choices that will benefit the environment and seek to do that which is best for the planet, including all the people who live on it. It involves being aware that life on this planet is now interconnected, and every choice we make affects others in ways we can't easily predict.

I took what you've just read from the website above and I'd like to add that teaching children how to be green is a key issue if we want to try to revert part of the damage in this planet...

If you like watching documentaries, I recommend "The 11th hour", it was produced like five years ago by L. DiCaprio, (an example of celebrities involved in green living) and with all the information and scientific data presented, they truly succeed in alarming the population about the ways we need to implement to find more and more environmental solutions. If interested, here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IBG2V98IBY

And last but not least, here you can learn about ways to reduce our carbon footprint: http://green.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_reduce_your_carbon_footprint

But now, as usual, please blog about the following:

1. Where do people learn about environmentally friendly practices?
2. Have you incorporated recycling into your habits? Describe
3. Do you use a bike or your legs instead of a car?
4. Have you joined or supported any eco-organisations? Why/Why not?
5. What else have you done /would you like to do?
6. What have you done to reduce your carbon footprint? 
7. What's missing in our society/Santiago regarding this issue?

Considering that this is the second blog to last, this is the time to challenge yourselves and write even more than before...  250 words minimum and 280 maximum but if you want to write more, your welcome to do it.

Don't forget to make comments on at least 3 of your classmates posts.


Best of luck,
