Living Green and the FutureMonday, July 28th, 2008Author: Michael Bridges In this article I want to take a look at two possible worlds. One, a world where everyone has embraced the living green way of life and the other where living green never quite caught on. I just want to say up front that these two worlds aren’t based on any research by experts. These are merely forecasts as I see them based on my observations. First lets look at a future world that is a result of everybody embracing the living green way of life. In this world everybody is happier and healthier. Because of usage of alternative fuels and energies there’s cleaner air due to the lack of carbon and other harmful emissions. With cleaner air and eating more fresh fruits and vegetables people started feeling better and exercising more, which made them healthier. With the reduction of toxic emissions along with the reduction of trees being killed and more being planted the ozone was able to repair itself, which averted the green house effect and also helped us rid ourselves of deceases caused by exposure to harmful sun rays. Because of using cleaner energy sources we were able to stop water pollution, which gave us more fish as a food resource, which also makes you healthier. As you know when you’re healthy and happy you’re friendlier, which reduced violence. Is this future world possible? Maybe not in the near future, but if we all adopted living green as a why of life our future generation could live in this world. Now let’s see what a future world might be where living green didn’t catch on. The population has been greatly reduced because of illness, violent crime and war. The ozone is greatly damaged. That and the polluted air cause people to spend most of their time inside. Wars are fought to control the depleting energy resources and only the ultra rich can afford to buy gas. Pollution of our water and land for toxic chemicals being dumped from industrial factories has greatly reduced our food supplies causing rationing and an increase in violent crime in order to have something to eat. Brown outs and even black outs are commonplace in order to stretch our energy reserves. Global warming has melted the polar caps causing a sever change in our climate. The prognosis for this world is very bleak. Both of these future worlds may or may not be an exaggeration of what could be, but how close are they? What do you think a future world would be like if living green is embraced or if it is rejected?

What Does Living Green Mean to YouMonday, July 28th, 2008Author: Michael Bridges I think everybody has the same basic concept of what living green is. Basically it’s making the earth healthier so that we, the inhabitants, can live healthier. But beyond that what does it mean to you on a personal level? Are your reasons for living green humanitarian or personal? What are some of the personal reasons people might choose for living green? Well, finances for one. Gas prices are very high right now and getting higher. Switching to biofuel or another fuel alternative might help cut down on carbon emissions, but it can also keep more money in your pocket. Using those energy efficient compact florescent bulbs may be a part of living green, but they also save you money on your energy bill. Another personal reason for living green can be health. Followers of living a green life stress giving up or reducing meat consumption. This is also a health issue for someone with high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart problems. Green household products are good for the environment, but there also good for health conditions like allergies. Ego can be a personal reason for living green. Living green is really big and getting bigger so showing people that you have conformed to the green way of life can you some pats on the back. It can be a big boost to the ego when you are being congratulated for something you’re doing. Living green is very important in the longevity of this planet. So whatever reason you have chosen to embrace living green, personal or humanitarian, just doing so helps us all.

Green LivingMonday, July 28th, 2008Author: Eve Harmer There are many ways we can help curb global warming. It’s really as simple as the choices we make and the products we buy. When we burn coal, oil, and natural gas we put carbon dioxide into the air. This in turn causes global warming. So, by using modern technology and reducing the use of fossil fuels we can help curb global warming and start saving our planet! One very easy way is to replace our regular incandescent light bulbs with very neat compact fluorescent bulbs. These compact fluorescent light bulbs use about a quarter of the electricity as normal bulbs and last ten times as long. While producing the same amount of light as well. So every new fluorescent bulb we can use helps clean the air and also helps us save money! Another great way is by just planting a tree. Since trees take in carbon dioxide, any little tree you can plant in your backyard helps. Not only will it give you some great needed shade, but it ofcourse absorbs CO2(carbon dioxide). So it saves on bills and helps save the planet! Finally, one of the easiest and most productive things we can do is recycle and use recycled products. Making new products from recycled materials is fantastic and can help save up to 70 - 90 percent of the energy and pollution that would result from a product made with new materials. Arenaturals.com is a great place to shop for recycled products and many other eco-friendly gifts. So, in concluding, if we all just start recycling and using recycled products we will be on a great path to helping curb global warming and saving Mother Earth!
