POST 7: HOW GREEN ARE YOU?

I think recycling practices should be taught in homes, but this, at least in Chile, is not very crowded. People have been acquiring these practices so it spreads in social networks and the TV news, this is because today is coming to increasingly light on how humans mistreat the planet.
I personally have no recycling practices, I think that this is because simply I have not given much importance to the problem of the destruction of our own planet.
As for the use of cars, sometimes I prefer to walk instead of going by bus somewhere, but I admit that I would love get around by bike but I'm afraid to go on it because when I was little I run over a car.
I know eco-organizations but I'm not part of them, I think I have not joined these organizations because I have not taken the time to know who specifically work, but I recognize that they are very important today and its contribution to both humanity and the planet is very large.
  Something that I would include in my habits is recycling, recycling trash into my house, use biodegradable bags, do not spend so much water, etc.
To reduce the carbon footprint I've stopped using aerosol pollutants only, I have not done anything more because I do not have much information about that, but I want to get more information about these issues, and that interests me.

I think in our society lack education about these issues, you should first teach household recycling habits; Second, schools would have to provide information about what is currently happening on the planet, as humans are destroying it, and teaching practices to improve those mistakes. I also believe that in Santiago missing implement rules for that people aware about the pollution in the city.

POST 6: ART

                  I think art is important because it is a form of expression and I like it for that, because one can through pictures or paintings express what you feel or what you want others to feel that. The truth when I was little was not interested in art, what I loved was that if coloring, could spend hours coloring picture books for children. But being that of older I became interested more art and started visiting museums, or find information on some artists.
                I do not have painting skills, but that if I like to draw sometimes with strong, bold colors and do anything in my notebook pages, well and that is why I have never participated in any competition gear, do not think have the "gift" of to be an artist.
                For my the Graffiti artists make art, it's a different art, but is art at the end, obviously there are better graffiti than others but I think that happens in all forms of art there.

               Something I really like about the actulidad art is art in public spaces, painting public spaces, such as "mini business" of two young painting here in Santiago called "You are going" (http: // www.estanpintando.com/), I love his art, they combine the colors, as you can liven up public spaces through the painting, for me it's like watching one of his paintings, as they did in military school, and feel that the entire space has another meaning, which is different to its context. Other artists I like and that I'm on Facebook, I met some young women are at a craft fair in Buenos Aires, called "Kriya Art" (https://www.facebook.com/kriya.arte), they do workshops painting for children and adults, workshops Ecopaint make their own works with household items like a painted outline mirror, his works love them because they use very strong colors that make you feel better if you see them, and drawings they make are very Latin and that makes their work even better.
