Going Green

Going Green

‘Going green’ is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days. Many people don’t really know what it means.

Or worse many people think they know but are wrong.

Or worse still they don’t care.

Being green more than driving a Pirus, shopping at Whole Foods, or putting out your recycling for the bums.

Going Green is about waking up the environment; seeing it as the living breathing organism that it is. The environment gives us life and learning how to lessen your impact upon it in a macro and micro way for the betterment of everyone, every living thing is what “Going Green” means. Going green means taking our environmental impact to nill and then restoring the parts that have been lost; creating green spaces where ever possible. It means moving into an era where clean renewable energy and renewable products are the only consumed in use.

Saving energy helps but it is not enough. Carpooling, turning off lights, and buying organic is a good start, but it will not be enough. It’s time that America lead the worlds green revolution. Going Green locally is a good start but it won’t get us to the finish. It is time for America to engage with the rest of the world and help other countries with there Green revolutions. It is far easier to reduce the pollution in developing countries than it is at home or in Europe, so it is best if we do so.

Pollution is a global terror. It kills millions, costs billions and leaves irreparable damage in it’s wake. Pollution knows no border and is a friend to no one. If your business pollutes or harms the environment your business hurts has no future.

In 19th century London a famous Economist was quoted as stating that “at current population projections, and current growth rates and the number horses and buggies London will be buried in manure in 50 years!” What he failed to see was that human innovation always steps up. Shorty after that, the car came along, then the subway, and today you would be hard pressed to find any manure in London at all.

The point is: The world is not ending. Global Warming is not going to kill us all.

But…

That does not mean the threat doesn’t exist.

It means that it is time for the innovators the to get to work. It is time to remake the world and rid it of all the pollution / manure!
