 * Going Green

Environmental issues are becoming more and more important. Water pollution, global warming, climate change, and deforestation are a few of the problems that confront us every day. There are many things we could do to make a difference, but it seems some people don’t care or just aren’t educated about the ways they can help. Oil spills, pesticides, acid rain, mining, and fertilizers are things that eventually run into our water system and cause water pollution. By this pollution running into our water system, we could wind up drinking it or it could evaporate and become acid rain. Instead of using pesticides we should be using green products that are friendly to our environment. Hybrid cars are a popular thing this year. Sales of this type of car are rising each year. The buyers are happy with the benefits. Recycling is a great way to make your life environmentally friendlier. It’s really easy too. You can start by getting a recycling bin. Cans, bottles, milk cartoons, and paper are just some of the thing that can be recycled. If everybody recycled one thing everyday, our planet would be much cleaner. Now there are many things that you can buy that are ecofriendly; for example chairs, trash bags, light bulbs and pretty much everything else. The way I see it is, why buy the stuff that’s hurting the environment when there are green products that are more friendly in every way because they are chemical free and are safe? It might be more expensive but our environment isn’t replaceable. We have one planet so why not take care of it?
