One of the biggest new phrases you hear around town is the phrase "goin' green", but if you were asked to explain that phrase... could you?
According to "Wikipedia", "Going Green" is directly related to Environmentalism, which is a broad philosophy and social movement centered on a concern for the conservation and improvement of the natural environment, both for its own sake as well as its importance to civilization. Environmentalists frequently speak of a planet or place faced with a plethora of grave and urgent threats; often associated with unbridled consumption, economic growth, materialism, insensitive development, and booming human numbers. Perhaps most problematic from an environmentalist perspective is the modern view that humanity's fate is divorced from that of the natural world, and that our responsibility to nature is - at best - limited to the satisfaction of shallow desires.
In various ways, environmentalists and environmental groups seek to give the natural world a stronger voice in human affairs and struggle to make governments, industry and other institutions see the importance of ecology and to treat nature with greater respect. Many environmentalists see common cause with indigenous communities and other marginalized groups struggling to protect their traditional way of life or freedom from blind commerce and other global incursions.
Some have defined going green as 'The social phenomenon describing individuals who use their consumer voice to increase sustainability (of the environment) and decrease their impact on the environment.'
How does a person 'go green'? Through education of how our decisions and actions affect our environment, and then making small changes every day which minimize any negative effects and maximize any positive effects our decisions cause. Although it sounds simple, it is actually a very challenging task - but each of us, one person at a time, can make a difference !
