BLOG 5: RECYCLE

 


I think that talking about recycling is very important at a personal and political level. 

Especially for me it is a topic that can bring me back to my roots and family traditions, 

because from a latinamerican perspective we observe the natural and cyclical process of 

the earth and we are more aware of the ecological point of view that we have in our daily

 life. Being able to learn about orchards and composting is also a way of thinking about 

recycling because it can reduce the impact of mass production, it privileges the local and 

 handmade production as well as democratizing the knowledge about how to work, take

 care and appreciate the natural products that we consume or the places that we live in

 to avoid destroying and contaminating our surroundings.

 

I have had my own orchard and composting system with worms for more than 4 years, 

in this way I have being able to produce my own food, learn about the process of 

different plants and feeling closer to the indigenous perspective that in some way still 

persists in my family. I think this has been replicated in different districts and comunitary 

zones, but nevertheless there is still a lot to improve within education especially in public

 schools.

 

From a political point of view, I think that there has been a lot of propaganda and 

hypocritical appropriation of the concept of recycling by companies and the government. 

There are many brands that seek a more ecological aesthetic but they actually continue 

to have a negative impact on the environment with contaminating practices. For this 

reason, I think that the government must regulate much more the practices of these 

companies and create a better municipal recycling system, that are quite basic and

 effective.
