Environment problems

I think it´s important looking after environment, but honestly, I´m not too consequent with this in my individual habits. It´s in part because I think real steps from state. Most of pollution comes from companies, besides this, people will not change their individual convenience by their own enough to change something, especially in a society that promotes individualism.

However, I try to take some steps for this cause like recycle all my bottles, cans, etc. and use bike to move in the city.

I´m animalist, and I subordinate environment problems to this ideology. Ecologist organization sometimes contradict my animalist ideas because they consider preserve the species is more important to respect the dignity and quality of the animal life as a sensible living being –it´s something similar to “prolife” people, who are against abortion bat usually don´t care of life conditions into neoliberalism –. That´s because I wouldn´t join to some typical eco-organizations like Green Peace. There some other organizations that doesn´t have this contradictions. I haven´t join to them just because it´s not my priority. However, I have been in an animalist organization, but I had to leave it because of time problems.

In other fields of this topic, I´m not very active. I have supported some social movements that fight for this, or example I have attend to “No a Altomaipo” actions, because I think that big environment problems come from the freedom that this economic system gives to companies to do what they want and, additionally, the little interest that have State to take care of environment problems. I think that´s the way to progress in this area.
