Go Green!

So today 'The Star' newspaper is going green for World Environment Day. Galaxie magazine has gone green in their previous issue. Gucci, the brand went green. Shopping centres pledged to go green by declaring Saturdays as 'No plastic bags day'. Nike went green with their World Cup uniforms which were made from discarded plastic bottles. Celebrities such as Jason Mraz, Brad Pitt, Jessica Elba and Emma Watson are doing what they can to be greener. 

You get the picture. There are many efforts to go green because there is a risk of completely using up valuable resources in the country and reducing natural heritage to nothing. Earth Hour happened where everyone is encouraged to off their lights for one hour to create climate awareness for a sustainable future. 

The world is getting hotter due to global warming, the ozone layer is vanishing, icebergs are melting which will eventually rise the sea level, it will then flood countries!

We should all do our part in helping the environment. In my house, we recycle old newspapers and aluminium cans. We use energy saving bulbs for most part of the house. Besides, I do not let the tap running while brushing my teeth, I mostly take train to college which reduces my carbon footprint and also I do not use the lift in the second college building(Koponas) which saves electricity- actually it's because it always breaks down but still! =p

I do believe in going green. If we could all do our little part in helping the environment then perhaps we have a better future for our kids.
