How green are you?

Let’s talk about ecology!
I have never joined any eco-organisation, because I don’t trust in them, but maybe if a found one that convinces me I would join it.
Despite that, I’ve always worried about our environment. Of course I’m not “the most ecologist girl in the world” or somebody who lives for that, but I think that everybody is able to do something.

Of course it’s not easy, because sometimes it requires time or the custom to do it, but it’s not impossible either.
What I’m doing now is collecting my plastic waste to put it in a plastic bottle. That’s called “eco-brick”.  Some organisations collect them to build even houses.
Another habit I’m trying to incorporate is not using plastic bags on the supermarket. I try to carry my own fabric bag, but I sometimes forget it and I have to use plastic ones (when I have to carry many things).
I would like to go to university by bike, but in this moment I have neither a bike nor money to buy one. Once I get enough money I will probably buy my own bike.
I believe that all we have a responsibility with our environment, but there is something unfair.
Although all we (individually) would take care about this world, we wouldn’t solve the problem. Why? … Because we are part of the problem, but not the problem.
 Big mines and industries pollute every day more than we can imagine, and even if they say they do something to help, It isn’t anything compared with the damage they do…
Of course I agree with changing our habits, we need to do it… but we need also have influence in those who are bigger than us.
