thoughts
During a job interview last week, they asked me: "In your opinion, what is the key point of the environmental problem of pollution nowadays?"
A colossal question for a 30 secs-answer!
My mind froze like Windows.
I stayed few seconds like this thinking about the cosmos of answers that I could formulate.
Then I restarted my mind and with the most absurd English (I was panicking) I answered:
" I think that the main problem of the environment is the management of our life ...." silence...my interviewer 😐
me inside:😱 out: 😀
"well, I mean .... we are slaves of our condition, of progress and technology...we need to take time and recreate a forma mentis, a new way to think and then we can be able to project a new and ecologic way to live"
I could see in that moment that I lost the attention of my interviewer... and all hope.
You know... everyday I talk about the different problems of our planet, every day I read about climate change, pollution, plastic, acidification....and usually I take all the time to think about that...
So from that moment I started to think again and again about that question and I want to try, throught this blog, to give you some tips for changing habits.
During the shower I focused my attention on my brush, but first:
I want to underline that I'm not against the plastic industry, plastic is a material like any other and it is "vital" in some scenario (think about hospitals) and it could be a good substitute (instead of glass, steel). I'm deeply against the "use" we made of it, we use plastic even if it's not necessary.
Returning to my "brushes" I have:
- a plastic pink hair brush 25 years old (or more...)
- a plastic white detangling hair brush 3 years old
- a plastic black tail comb 10 years old
I always take care about them! I use them, clean and store in a proper way.
On the internet you will find a million videos or pages about "how to live without plastic" and you will read "buy a wood/bamboo comb/brush (with organic bristles) and throw away your old non-eco friendly one"
Such a shame!
Such a waste of material, energy and money!
I prefer to suggest you take care of your plastic comb, if you have one, and only in case it will break to buy a new eco one.
Often people have a laugh of me cause I get attached to things... but I'm sure that is a good ecological way to respect money and nature:
I spend money for an item that has a specific environmental footprint, I take care of it and I try to give to it more life as possible and, by doing so, I reduce the production and the impact.
"F*ck the consumerism!" :P
So in the end, my first message is:
"take care"
