Hey! What
have you done to that plant?
-Nothing
mom, I just cut a leaf from it.
-Don’t you
think the plant suffers when you do this?
-Why?
-Look,
imagine this little hair of yours, it’s the leaf's plant...
-Auch! That
hurts! Why you pulled out my hair?
-Because it
hurts, what you think felt the plant?”
When I was
a young boy, I wasn't very friendly with nature. I liked to cut off flowers,
plant, trees, and sometimes torture animals. My mother was who slowly changed
and taught me about how to care nature and respect other forms of life. Now I
like to walk outside, I like to get into forest and breathe the clean air from
trees. I try to care of my dog (but it’s in Talca, so it’s kind of far), and
try to consume less energy and water (but this last one it’s kind of hard for
me).
I’m not an Eco-Hero, but I try to do my best, that’s better than nothing.
Although, it’s more than what our politicians do about environmental issues in
our country. In Santiago and in Chile there’s a lack of politics related to environmental
protection. Here, the business has “open letter” to do whatever they want with
the local ecosystem. This is a more complex issue than the impact of an
individual on the environment. Maybe, I could help joining to an
eco-organization, but I’m lack of time by now, ending my career, etc. I hope
one day I could help, may whit money, or another kind of action.
kids could be very cruel sometimes. I never tortured animals because I've always have pets, but I can understand that they do that because nobody tell them that's wrong. It's good that you changed! haha
