Are Green Ways Leading to Less Pollution?

I'm not sure whether our "green" ways are leading to lowered levels of pollution. With the BP disaster on the front, definitely not. But this aside, are we really polluting less and helping our planet to survive and ultimately us as inhabitants of this planet? Are all of us taking the green initiative and seeing this philosophy as something that is of utmost importance? I don't think every one is. Some who are natural antagonists are saying that green philosophy is a waste of time and unnecessary. They don't see the importance in saving hardwood trees to sustain our oxygen supplies. They don't see that these trees are necessary to clean the pollution out of the air so that we can breath. The ones of us who are taking the green standpoint need to show these antagonists that there really is something to be concerned over. We are stewards of the earth and God has put us here to take care of what we need to survive. Jesus will return, but until that time, we have to breath, eat and to do so, take care of the precious earth God gave us.

Why Don't We Listen?

Remember Joni Mitchell's "Pave Paradise, Put Up a Parking Lot?" Her message meant a lot to some but mostly fell on deaf ears. Remember Lynyrd Skynyrd's immortal message, "I see the concrete slowly creeping, Lord take me and mine before that comes."

Popular music has often been the means of delivering profoundly important messages. Unfortunately, many who heard these messages took them no more seriously than being part of the entertainment.

They are much more than mere entertainment. They should be interpreted as the fire alarms they are. They are the fire alarms that our generation has recognized the destruction of the environment is imminent if we fail to react.

We need to hear the alarms and do something, now! We have to stop using the poisons and stop paving over nature. South Korea, at great financial cost to their country, set the bar on nature conservancy. In Seoul, a great river had been covered with roads and buildings and basically forsaken. A few years ago, at great financial cost, they completely tore up the roads and buildings covering the river and turned the area into a beautiful nature conservancy right there in the middle of the city. The South Koreans also took a mound of garbage and covered it with acres of billowing grass and walking trails. The vegetation they chose was intended to draw beautiful animals, birds and butterflies.

Stone Mountain, GA also has taken a garbage dump and transformed it into a series of walking trails. Virginia Beach, VA has likewise taken an unsightly garbage dump and turned it into a beautiful place.

Through conservation and recycling we can significantly decrease the amount of garbage we each create.

Planting trees and using less paper are vital, simple ways to help.

Sorting garbage into categories like paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, aluminum, etc and making mulch out of everything biodegradable is of paramount importance. Recycle everything you can. It is of vital importance. This is not a fad, this is the way we have to live if we are going to continue living.

Once you develop a system, it will become second nature and you will see the benefits directly. You can use the mulch to fertilize your yard &/or garden. Growing your own garden obviously has benefits for you. Using biofriendly pest control helps our earth get back to it's natural state. There are many places to find ecofriendly methods of pest control. Your county extension office and many web sites can help.

*Note: To help with the garbage sorting, try using more than one garbage can. Label each one as to what you put in it. If space is a concern, try bags instead.

Any and everything you do for the environment is a step in the right direction. Do what you can and I'll do what I can and we'll watch the earth get well.

Do You Really Need to Go There?

Fossil fuel usage is one of the most detrimental causes of pollution. Aside from the chemicals being pumped daily into our water supplies and bodies of water, fuel emissions are choking our planet. We need to move as quickly as possible to bio-friendly automobiles. Corporate America will just have to deal with the change. Other bio-friendly energy sources must be turned to also. Solar power and wind power are the most eco-friendly solutions we have at the present time. We need new research in Bio-energy that will open up new and more efficient means of creating energy. Schools should teach classes in "green" technology. Students should experiment with new bio-friendly energy sources. No we don't need to travel in fossil fuel using transportation more than necessary. Yes we do need to go the route of new technology. We need to get creative and find new, innovative ways to save our planet from the head on course with death that it is presently on. Join the "green" army and help save our home, the earth. Now is the time to use our minds to save our bodies.

The Green Border Signifies Our Future

Pollution, if it continues unchecked, will kill us. Money-lust has enabled those who pollute to go unencumbered for many, too many, years. Now it is time for us, you and me, to stop them with every means at our disposal. We need to take control of our planet before the money-grubbers kill it. We have to curb their actions using whatever means we can muster. We also have to monitor our own actions and try to boycott companies that mindlessly pollute our home, the earth. The forces of nature can, in time, clean the pollution that has already occurred, but not while we are continually adding more pollution every day. Recycling is not a choice, it is a requirement if we are going to save our planet. Wreckless spending, that means buying what you don't really need, is inappropriate. Think before you buy. Research the companies that make the items you are considering buying; do these companies pollute or are they trying to follow "green" principles. Give them credit for trying, but make sure they are also doing. Put your money where it will make a difference. Support "green" companies.
