Why we need to Go Green?

Go green is a self-directed effort towards a green, pure, healthy and livable natural environment that is necessary for human survival. Internet or media are carrying hundreds of applications that make use of word "Go Green". Go green technology has become a fad and in many cases helped in promoting the actual truth behind these two words.

Green is a color of prosperity and wealth. Earth is considered one of the most prosperous and wealthiest in terms of nature and environment. No other planet has been discovered to possess unique and extraordinary elements that Earth has.

Since time immemorial, Earth has served as place to live and survive. Generations have come and gone. Earth has remained same with same day and nights, summer or winter, cold or hot.

But 21st century has knocked really hard on the hearts to make people aware that future generations might not see the Earth as it was and it is. The face of our globe is fast changing and each one of us is feeling the change with the change in natural phenomena.

If Europe is facing snow onslaught at higher proportions than Arctic is seeing the fall of glaciers. If summers are having unexpectedly higher temperatures than winter is experiencing subzero temperatures in a moderate or tropical area. It is day and night temperature that is helping feel the heat which was not felt till few years back.

Green implies promoting Nature- the lush green surroundings which is the major source of human survival on Earth. The deforestation has fast depleted the land quality making it dry and unusable. It is difficult to live in an area that has no access to water or trees. Forest land is used for farming. But if water is not received naturally or artificially the land is no less than a desert that strives to convert its barrenness into thriving land of people, plants and animals.

Green indicates peace. Peace of mind and body that can be achieved if the environment we survive in is apt and best for survival. Living a sedentary life, having become the slaves of technology has in fact helped in compromising with time. The same technology has taken away the natural resources of air, food and water that are the main elements of survival.

Laptop, mobile, dishwasher, washing machine and numerous other electronic or non-electronic items that are made of plastic are disposed of in rivers that find their way into the seas and oceans. These huge marine hubs have in fact become the dumping zone where in it will take another million years for them to decay.

Emission of harmful gases from industrial or non- industrial zones is responsible for disturbing the atmosphere that is crucial in safeguarding the living beings on Earth.

Go green is a concerted effort to make Earth beautiful and sustainable for lives that are still unborn. Making step by step changes can bring a huge revolution that will help in survival of humankind.
