Go Green?

What is Go Green really all about? I know that there have been many new organizations created and organized to help conserve and save our environment but what are people actually doing about it? Are people actually doing things to help the environment or is it just a temporary thing? I feel like at some point or another most people want to do at lease one thing or another to help the environment or make it seem like they are more concerned for natures well being. However, I dont feel like there are too many people that actually stick with what they started doing or attempted doing. People go through phases, for example if they start to recycle even though they never have before but it doesnt last for very long because it becomes too much of a hassel but it doesnt matter cause they feel like they have already done their part by the little plastic or paper they did recycle. What if everyone just started to do one thing to help the Go Green organization. If everyone takes little baby steps and consistently sticks with what theyre doing would it make more of a difference in our environment? Would we actually be helping? A few examples of things people could start doing is walking or binking places more as to save gas and not use the car so much. Or you can get low flow shower heads to conserve the amount of water you use. You can install compact fluorescent light bulbs so youre not using as much electricity. There are so many things that if everyone did at least one and stuck with it maybe it would make a difference and these organizations wouldnt have such a lost cause.

  1. It really is people just being willing to change their lifestyle slightly and sticking to it. I have noticed people who try to change too much in their life right away and are unable to keep up with it. I think it needs to be viewed less as the cool thing to do and more this is how life should be lived, the norm.
