Respect the environment

The theme of recycling in Chile is something that I see very far from what really happens. If people don´t even respect animals, much less respect the environment! I think that the Chilean people see the issue of recycling as an unnecessary issue for society, since society is more concerned with getting daily bread and having money for basic expenses; that is the main point for people in general, paying rent, paying bills, having money to eat, etc.

In my way, I recycle the trash at home, I separate the plastic from the metal, and separate the paper into different bins, leave the glass bottles and tanks at the nearby dumps of Coaniquem, a foundation for burned children, they collect glass in their big dumpsters that are sometimes in the streets.

All this illusion of recycling the trash of my house ends when the garbage truck pass near my house and made all the trash together and mixed on the road.

Here in Chile there is a very little diffusion of recyling and the trucks are for garbage in general, there are no garbage trucks classified, so there is only hope that someday people evolves in the conscience for the environment.
