"Don't be mean, Protect the Earth and Go Green"
Modernization and the continual evolving technology in
diverse industries have brought numerous changes and improvement in our society
for the past few years. Along with these changes in our modern world has also
raised those increasingly complex problems and havoc to our environment, which
in return causes it to deteriorate and die. As we can see, many of these
changes destroy and damage our natural resources and trigger our source of
goods/necessities to become scarce and limited. Remember that our natural environment is our ultimate
source of life, supplies our food and other important things which is essential
to our day-to-day living, so let’s not worsen its condition, instead, let us
make an active involvement on how we can preserve our environment.
One of the best approach to help our Mother Earth is
learning how to ‘go green’ even in your own little ways. “Going Green” is a way
of life, and not just a trend or a fad. It is a serious and life-changing
decision that all of us need to make if we want to preserve our environment. If
you really want to create a nice and safe world for your family and the next
generation to come, then, the following are some of the simplest steps that you
can follow to save not only our environment, but also our entire world:
a. Green
your Ride
Studies have shown that one of the top most reasons why the
ozone layers is deteriorating is because of the carbon dioxide emission brought
by industrial companies and gas coming from cars. If you’re just about to go to
a nearby place or commercial establishment where riding a car is not really
necessary, why not just walk as an alternative? In this way, you’ll not only
help the environment, but you’ll become healthy due to your walking exercise.
If you don’t want to walk, traveling though bike is also one
of the best alternative at hand. However, if it can’t really be done without
the use of car, then checking your car engine’s condition will also help. This
is indeed important so that you won’t be adding to the percentage of those car owners
who causes so much Carbon Dioxide emission.
b. Reduce
the Use of Plastic and Styrofoam
Many environmentalists have found out that it takes more
than 300 to 500 years for plastic to decompose while another 300 years for the
Styrofoam to decay totally. If you are going to shop around or need to pack
your important things or goods, opting for a more eco-friendly material is one
of the best option that you should consider. Go for eco-bag, paper bag and
other eco-friendly container that are either reusable or biodegradable.
c. Save
Electric Consumption
Saving energy is another way of preserving our environment.
Many type of energy uses fossil fuel in order to supply many households with
electricity. However, fossil fuels are not renewable, which means that until
the very last ‘chunk’ of coal, they are needed to be dug from deep below the
earth until the last drop of oil has been pumped. So as much as possible,
reduce the use of your energy consumption, especially when you are not using a
particular appliance in your home or office. This way, you’ll not only cut the
cost of your electric bills but you’ll also save huge sum of money by doing so.
