Our Answer: Unfortunately, neither in our country or our city , we have marches that promote the environmental conscience as in other countries Principally the adults are those who worry less, while young people are awareness. we are the ones who foment between the others the environmental thought For example, many of our dumps with garbage are replete and therefore the garbage leaves and falls to the path. We do not also have the custom of recycling, something that should be obligatory, nevertheless we do not do it. Sometime people use their imagination to produce lamps or bags with recycled material and sell them It bothers, it makes us feel worried and dissapointed, because young people like us contribute to keep the streets clean.
