I think people learn most of their enviromental friendly practices from school, when they are just kids. I say this from my own experience, cause the few things I know about it came from my school education, from students books, and, in some cases, commercials and propaganda.
I don't usually recycle, cause I'm too lazy to gather all the wastes that can be recycled in the recycle cans. However, whenever I find something I can reuse I do it.
For the most of the time, I prefer using my bicycle to get to places near me. Sometimes not so near too. Sadly, recently my bicycle got broken and I can't use it for now, so for places near me, I must walk. And for places that are far from my home, y use public transportation.
I've never joined any Eco-organizations, mostly because I've never been asked to join them, and if I got asked, I would'n do it. That's because I think everybody can do the environmental caring job from their own, without joining any act. It's not necessary, only motivation is needed.
Honestly, I hardly do anything about it, and is because I'm too lazy. Don't get me wrong, I don't like to contaminate, throw my trash on the floor and burn trees for fun. I like to be clean with my own wastes, and try not to throw them anywhere but the trash can.
Once I got the idea of planting apple trees wherever I could, and use the seeds that come in every apple I eat for doing it. I searched in the internet and found that apple trees grow very slow, and dont give fruit until almost 10 years they are planted. After that realize I couldn't do it, cause if I did, I would need time for every seed I planted in every place, and that is a lot of time. However, I still think is a good idea, it would reduce hunger and pollution.
I hink what is missing in our society about this issue is motivation and promoting. You know, recycle spots are not in every corner. Another thing missing, I think, is pollution regulation in industries and factories, There are so many and they have their part on this problem too.
Bye!
I agree with you when you say that only motivations is needed, I also think that some sustainable conscience is missing too
