Environment

In recent times we have been able to perceive a greater “awareness” about environmental issues. Global warming has more and more become a topic of discussion in the past years, not only by experts on the subject, but by society in general. People have started generating changes in their lifestyles, trying to take care of their surroundings and the planet's resources. Personally, it has been some time since we started a recycling system at home. We separate garbage in different recipients, some of them for plastic waste, others for glass, cardboard, etc. We also choose to buy products that come in organic packaging, leaving as a last resort those who come in plastic. Another alternative we take is buying products in glass containers, as these can be easily reused.

Another way to contribute to the environment has been giving a greater use to the bicycle. I try to make as many trips as possible daily in my bicycle, thus not only preventing the air pollution that a car makes, but also giving greater importance to my physical condition and times and rhythm of displacement through the city. It is very important to make even the most minimal of changes, as they end up affecting our environment and creating a change for good.
