How Green Am I?

Since I was a child I always asked myself where the rubbish that we were producing did it go. When I start to grow up and understand the world, I could't believe that all the rubbish went to stop to a basural, that just didn't make sense to me because I thought (and think right know) one day there's going to be so much rubbish in the world that we won't know what to do with it.

It's because of that, and the recent green life style of our days, that I decided to cooperate with the cause of take care about our planet. Even when I know that my way of helping is not very powerful, however I recycle all the things that I can: paper, magazines, glass and plastic bottles, tetrapack, batteries, etc. Also I take care of the trees, plants, animals, and even insects (I feel sad when a kill them without wishing) and when I take a shower I try to spend as little as possible of water and stay there less of 15 minutes, also I don't buy spray deodorant because I know the label is lying when it says that the product don't ruin the ozone layer.

I'm not part of any green association, but when I was in school I founded a recycle group that wanted to promote the green life between the students, right know that group is still working and they have reached a lot of objectives, that's makes me very happy!

In this cause, I hate Santiago because there is few places when you can recycle stuff, and there are only located in the high neighborhood, unfortunately that's because in the poor places people don't have the recycling habit, that's why since the person is a child the parents have to teach they to worry about the planet.

Art.

The concept of "art" is very complex, it's difficult to understand it if you start thinking about it... I think it's like to ask yourself as an anthropologist: "what's culture?", it's the same thing.

For me, art is a way to expression of the human being, without art the world would be a horrible and darker place. I think that everyone have creativity inside oneself but it's depends if the person develops that creativity or not, also I think some people really have talent for art and others simply not, so it's more difficult for them to be "creatives".

I think that we can make art with everything, is not necessary that your creation is beautiful, even so, some kinds of art don't make me feel anything, for example, contemporary art. Maybe a white square with a fly in the middle could be considered art, but that doesn't mean anything to me. It's the same with the contemporary dance... I hate it, there are strange movements only!

Well, since I was a child I liked to draw and paint a lot, in fact, the walls of my house were always full of colors, stripes and own drawings. Nevertheless, in this moment the most important kind of art is music. I don't know if that's because of my parents (they play a lot of instruments) or just because I like it, maybe is a mix of both. There was a time when I played a lot of instruments: piano, guitar, ukulele, bass, mouth-organ, etc. But right now I have left all that, which makes me sad... I hope one day come back to those times!
