Go Green

Earth is our home and we should keep the Earth clean and help it survive against global warming. Everyone should care about the planet that we live on. Due to global warming glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and cloud forests are drying. The planet is heating up way too fast. Humans are the main reason for the climate to rise and we humans are the ones who released greenhouse gases into the ozone layer.

When we first learned to walk, we started out with baby steps, and going green starts out the same way.  Going green doesn’t hap­pen overnight. It takes time, and small com­mit­ments.  Just stop to think about what you’re doing. By being health­ier, we can help the envi­ron­ment. When we exer­cise, that’s less time we would’ve spent on some­thing that wastes time, such as the com­puter. By eat­ing health­ier, we cut down on things that cre­ate toxic wastes when made or pack­aged. By using your own refill­able water bot­tle, you can save up to $200 per year, and 14 lbs of plas­tic. Don’t take an ATM receipt, or a bag at the gro­cery store if you only buy a few items, or take your own reusable bag. When buy­ing books, buy sec­ond­hand, or use the library, or share. About three bil­lion new books are sold per year, requir­ing four hun­dred thou­sand trees to be chopped down as a result.

According to the ancient hymn from Bhumi Sukta, "We are birds of the same nest. Wearing different skins, speaking different languages, believing in different religions, and belonging to different cultures yet we share the same home, our earth. Born on the same planet, covered by the same skies, gazing at the same stars, breathing the same air, we must learn to progress happily together or miserably perish together. For humans can live individually but can survive only collectively. Indeed, the ancient texts seem to suggest that we all owe a responsibility to the environment not only for ourselves but also for the sake of those around us".
