Green, Just Do It

Green, Just Do It Some people might hear the term “Going Green” and think of some big green monster running around destroying buildings. But really all it means is conserving energy and in the end help make the world a better place. This term “Going Green” is used a lot in today’s society, but rarely do you ever see people doing anything to help and going green isn’t as difficult as it seems. But if nothing is done now the future of Earth will be dramatically affected by it. Not many people realize it but many things can be done to help such as recycling, turning off electronics after their done being used, and even driving a eco/hybrid car. Simple things such as this in the end will make our planet a better place. People never really think about the difference of throwing paper, plastic or even metal into the regular trash can instead of the recycling bin. Simply taking that extra step to put it into the right container can make a huge difference. The biggest thing to look at would be a newspaper. Think of all the newspaper that are printed every day and how many of those are just taken out of the plastic and tossed into the trash. If all that paper was to be recycled instead of thrown away in the end it would help save trees from being cut down. Trees provide oxygen and other chemicals to the atmosphere. So by cutting more trees down it creates a greenhouse effect on the earth which will eventually destroy our atmosphere. Even with plastic recycling it can make the biggest difference. Instead of things having to be made from raw materials, recycling plastic can save the environment from a lot of harm. Ultimately by not simply placing paper, plastic, or metal in the recycle bins society is setting the future generations up to have a terrible atmosphere. With the technology there is today something has to constantly keep these things powered. Where does that power come from? Energy is constantly being used by society and with that comes consequences.
