#GreenQuote of the Week

Going green is a way of life.

Sometimes most people think of environmentalism or going green as a course or a training which requires that they go to school and learn how to become environmentalists before they can take action. In this week’s green quote, we tell you environmentalism is a way of life that requires simple and logical thinking about what’s good and what’s wrong for ourselves and the planet.
We don’t need to go to school before we understand that littering and improper waste disposal is transforming our communities and our planet into a pile of filth. We don’t need to go to school before we understand that trees provide us with food, medicine, timber, fuel wood, etc. The fact that we are consuming tree products already gives us enough reason to plant trees for the purpose for which we intend to use them for.
Going green and environmentalism is a way of life and our forefathers lived that way. They connected with nature and lived in harmony with nature but its unfortunate that we are disconnecting from nature thanks to “civilization”. However, there is still hope and we can bridge the gap between man and nature.
Some simple things we can do to improve or bond with nature and Go Green include;

• Tree planting
• Community Clean-up campaigns
• Walking or cycling
• Educating people about environmental issues
• Switching to Solar Energy
• Buying locally produced stuff, etc

Together, we can change our way of life and connect with nature.
