Recently, everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon that focuses on a greener lifestyle. While this is all fine and dandy, it really leads to wonder: do people really care about going green? Do people really care about the environment, or do they want to do something that occupies their time? Here are a few questions you may want to ask yourself to help determine how important green is to you.
Do you really understandGlobal Warming?
Although there are many people out there who know that global warming exists and that something needs to be done about it, there are few who actually understand what global warming is and why it needs to be prevented. How can we really go green when we don’t understand why we need it? It seems more necessary to focus on what global warming really is, before we put all the focus on how it can be prevented by taking green actions.
Do you see yourself living green in 5 years already?
There’s no doubt that some of the lifestyle changes you need to make to go green are easy, but some habits can be hard to break. Do you see yourself living green in 5 years from now? Do you care enough about the environment to take preventive actions? In a way, going green seems to be a lot like a diet. There are some people who diet lose weight and cannot lose weight. There are some who probably ignore the lifestyle changes that are necessary for a green exit and, finally, have no part in protecting the environment.
Do you really care about the environment?
There are some people who really just don’t care about the environment at all. These are the same people who go out and buy gas guzzlers which they know won’t improve the environment. There are also those who go somewhere every time the litter. Are you one of these people? Are you generally concerned about the environment and the hope that it can be preserved for future generations? Your views on the environment can really have an impact on how long a green lifestyle can last.
Time will tell whether or not going green is just a cash phase for you or if there is something you want to live by. Although there are so many people now who seem to be interested in the idea of going green, many don’t seem to realize the commitment you have to make. Except for our environment, it should be a top priority, but it’s also not a problem if it goes green, it’s not really your mother for you, but rather it’s what you want to occupy your time.
