I think that the education is very important for to learn friendly practices with the ecosystem, but, also is very important the habit and motivation of the people. For example, in my case, my mother is a person very conscious of the ambient damage, for that she do many action for to help to protect the environment. For example, she save the organic material (organic waste) and recycle it. This is very useful, because the house of my mother haves many plants and beautiful garden, and the organic material recycled she used it like fertilizer (the correct name is “tierra de hojas”).

I said that the education, motivation and habit is very important, because in the case of my mother, she learned from little girl the respect for the ecosystem. But in my case, the activities for to help the environment are very lacking, because I do not have the motivation, and I believe that this activities use many time: for example, join in an environment organization. I am conscious of my situation, and this is the first step for remedy it. Some activities for to help the environment would be: to use fabric´s bag and not plastic bags; recycle the paper of the copybooks, and don´t take out it; etc.
