As fellow people of this environment, we need to do more. Unfortunately, there is a big divide. We have our super passionate activists and then we have our careless and uneducated people. The harsh reality in all of this though is that we’re extremely selfish and we put ourselves before everything. Ultimately, we are the most detrimental thing to our planet and what we fail to realize is that we are affecting ourselves just as much as the planet, if not more.

We have a radical effect on biophysical environments & ecosystems, biodiversity, global warming, mass extinction, etc. This in retrospect is going to limit humanity on earth & eventually wipe us out entirely. I think when people see words like these, they just panic and look the other way because they know the environment won’t completely degrade during their time on earth. Additionally, I think the reason people don’t act more on this subject is because they think they need to make drastic changes in order to become more sustainable. This is simply not the case.

There are so many ways you can go greener that will have little effect on what you’re already doing & what you’re used to. Therefore, I figured I’d share some of these ways in hopes to inspire you to at least read these if you are not interested in trying any. And I mean…who knows? Maybe these little changes will turn into habits & later be passed down to your own kids & grandkids. It’s as simple as starting somewhere.
