    Green living is a great way promoting conservation and a wise use of natural resources. Going green is a utopian ideal to which we must aspire if we want life to continue on this planet. It is important for our society and government to train itself to use natural resources being provided to us than to pollute our planet even more with huge factories and companies producing smog and chemicals and releasing it into the air in which we breathe. Diseases such as cancer and birth deformities are on the increase and have been attributed to pollutant exposures. Pollution requires more effort by governments, the international community and independent bodies involved in fighting it. It is not enough to have these rules but their enforcement is equally important.

   Not only will learning to use our natural resources with respect to how finite they will serve future generations but will help prolong the amount of time that the earth will continue to sustain life. it will also open up new jobs in technology where sectors have traditionally been high paying and therefore is good for our economy. Also people have not noticed Americas problem of bad habits and how it has build up in the last three decades.” Our planet is getting hot, flat, and crowded which is an issue on the fact that it is tightening energy supplies and extinction of planets and animals, deepening energy, poverty, and accelerating climate change (source C)”. in order  for America to take lead in solving he worlds big problem to create new tools, energy sources and ethics which will help our planet to grow in a cleaner, more sustainable way.

  To live a green life will also be accommodating to those stressing over the high utility bill. “Electricity generated by fossil fuels for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air than two average cars.-(source F)”. Although this is true there is a lot of ways you can do to save energy and money at  home and in transportations vehicles. One being to conserve water and electricity in your home and driving sensibly without wasting as much gasoline the government should foster green practices to give people an extent to how much electricity and water should be used at home this will help our planet in a great way and also with droughts and other natural disasters.

  Many say that going green will cause an avalanche of job loss, financial hardship and in some cases catastrophic poverty. And also going green eats of productivity accepting the gross national product.” While its arguably good for the environment the fact that 3 minutes per week over 300 million citizens take up 7,800,000,000 man hours of time per year (source A)”. even if this is true our government should not be focused on man hours being lost but in the need for change in our environment and society which will be beneficial in our planets future.
