My experience with sustainability arises when I was seventeen years, in high school Rosa Ester Alessandri Rodríguez (municipal school), in 4th year, because at that time I could go a seminar on this.
The seminar was organized for "Recicla UC" , there is shown in the school recycling, from the implementation of different containers for garbage until finally the final collection and coordination with the trucks of garbage.
At school I got very excited about these ideas, as I involved in the Academy of Sciences of school , I took advantage of that platform to implement this initiative.
To implement this initiative was discussed with the other members of the academy and the teacher in charge, and we had to think about how we were going to install this culture, because if there was no culture, no one would occupy the garbage can.
The teacher in charge, Katy, currently still doing classes at school. Something relevant to mention is that this teacher is teacher history , not of science , still loved his work and supported us in all the initiatives we had.
This initiative did not work the first year, especially there were few willing to work on this, but most of all a hard time that high school students take ownership of these ideas.
Despite the hard work during the year on this garbage separation, is not started, but started the following year, it was sad because I was not in school, but in college, yet was happy because the following year is worked in this :)
