Am i eco-friendly?

Yes, I am also an eco-friendly citizen, as the most of the other students. So, we are a lot and these are really good news for the planet!

I have had a score of 3 points. My weak points are that I have more than 5 electrical appliances in my kitchen, I usually use hot water to do the washing-up and I don't go to work walking or biking. Maybe I could do it better with the appliances and the washing-up but I definitely can't go walking or by bike to work because I live quite far away from my workplace and I'm not as fit as to do so. But as I usually use the public transportation, I guess I am not very eco-unfriendly.

And about the matter of being eco-friendly. I think that the most important is to be aware of the delicate balance of our planet, its climate and its resources. And I think that almost everybody know that. But even knowing this, if somebody don't try to be careful with the environment, I just can say that he is a lazy and dirty person that doesn't think in the rest of the people or living beings.
Having said that, and for not sound too much exaggerated, I want to add that nobody is perfect and everyone has different situations and priorities in his life. And besides, sometimes, you are absolutely not thinking in the warnings about the climate change, the endangered animals or the resource scarcity because there are closest troubles around you and the rest of the world just does not exist.

Thanks for your great message Pau. It's true, it is difficult to be 100% eco-conscious at all times. Sometimes you forget to turn off the lights you aren't using, or put the rubbish in the wrong container... But I thin in general nowadays most people are more conscious of these issues than before.
This was a good piece of writing, just a couple of things to think about:
these are really good news = For some reason, news is treated like a singular noun: This is really good news. The news is good etc.
I'm not as fit as to do so= I'm not fit enough to do it / I'm not as fit as I used to be.
the most important is to be aware = The most important what? You can't have a floating adjective, you must have a noun: The most important thing is to....
that doesn't think in the rest of the people =..who doesn't think about other people
and for not sound too much exaggerated= .. and not wanting to exaggerate too much, ...
See you soon!
