Hello dear Students, well today's blog session is about how green you are in your daily life, and I'm going to tell more about this issue in my life.

I think most people learn to be friendly with the environment mainly watching T.V or movies that are related to global warming, and how the earth is being destroyed little by little. In my case, I have incorporated some of these things into my daily routine. For example, I try no to use plastic bags or throw rubbish to the ground. Also, I don't have a car on my own so I have to walk. Moreover, if I need to go somewhere near my house, I use my bike.

There are a lot of advertisements about organisations, which are trying to do their best to help our earth, and I believe that we all have to support these eco-organisations around the world, because they have made a very good job trying to keep our planet as healthy as possible. I'd really like to start a recycling project in my community and try to change people's mind. 

Well, Apart from using my legs and not throwing rubbish, another thing that I usually do is to turn off every light at home if I'm not using it. Besides, I have shortened my showers and the use of water in general. 

According to our city / country, there's still a lack of being aware of what is going on around us, because we tend to live our lives inside of a bubble without caring about the others or about our own nature. People need to start changing their view of the world and start helping these eco-organisations. Perhaps without giving money or going to every protest, but I think is more than enough being a little bit more conscious about this matter.
