Going Green
?? With all the information in the news, and on the internet, everyone has to be aware that we have a pollution problem. Yea, some places have a worst pollution problem than others. But, the fact still remains that we all contribute to our pollution problem. With more people, companies, and livestock all emitting green house gases
and other pollutants, we are harming our environment.
We all drink the water and breathe the air, it seems that it should be a major concern. But, at least in my part of the world, southern Alabama, most people don't seem to care. Looking at the trash along side of the highways and byways
, leads me to think that. I've heard "I'm not going to be around anyway" too many times.
With all the pollution around now, Dead Spot in our oceans, feet of Toxic Mud in our bays, Heavy Metals in our water, image what it will be like in 20 generations. Yes, you won't be around, you and I will be dead. But, our families will be here. Even our children and grandchildren will have a heavy price to pay. Just look at the cancer rate
now days, it is not 2% anymore it is 25%, one in four will die with some form of cancer
.
We all have the power to make positive changes. No matter how small the change the positive effort is worth it. If only taking your plastic bottle
to a recycling center. These are easy to locate, Lowes has a recycling center locator on their site. Or just purchase a Zero Water Filter
. Every little bit helps.
I read, a couple of years ago, that if every man, woman and child bought one LED light bulb
, to replace one incandescent light bulb
, we could shut down 10 power plants. I bought some and they were $20.00 a piece at the time. Now you can get 6 for $20.00 (just look at the widget on the side-bar)
Recently it has been stated that the average American uses 6 trees a year in paper products. Just buy some rags
. And let some of your trees do what they are meant to do. Filter our water and air. Our government will one of these days let use Cannabis
for paper and plastics. In the 70s I thought that it would already be happening. We have to vote right.
The effort of a single person will make a different in the span of a lifetime. The significant reduction in pollution come from your children watching and learning. They will realize that the highways are not garbage dumps. And that we need to keep this beautiful world healthy for their children.
We also have the responsibility to let the government and businesses know that we expect them to take action. Buy what you can from companies that have plenty of living green concepts incorporated for customers to take advantage of. At the same time you need to influence your government to place laws in effect that limit the amount of pollution that can be emitted by a company as well as by individual vehicles on the roads.
If you are ready to start living green
and to do your part to reduce the carbon footprints
you have placed on this Earth, it is time to learn about the various ways you can do so. It is never too late to make some positive changes to your behaviors so that you can live healthier and so can everyone around you.
