Green is the New Everything

I’m not normally one to jump on a bandwagon, but I do support the idea that our future must be “green.” There really is no other option. And in order to have a green future, everyone (I repeat, everyone) needs to jump on this bandwagon right now. The human race has done immense damage to the planet and its environment; few would dispute that. Even if you don’t agree with the vast majority of scientists around the world that climate change is real and greatly affected by people, you have to admit that cleaner energy is better. Pollutants are harmful by definition and therefore should be regulated for the benefit of the planet and its inhabitants. There should be no argument here. You want a practical, financially sound reason to go green? Fine. How about the two million jobs that can be created from the funding of green projects as part of the economic stimulus plan just approved by the House? See, going green is even good for the economy and can help to fight against our increasing unemployment rates. President Obama has already spoken on his intentions of helping the green movement move forward. Let’s encourage him to stay on the path. Send him a letter expressing your concerns. Since the population shows no signs of shrinking any time soon, it is imperative that we all get involved in the push for clean and renewable energy. The kind of energy that doesn’t poison the environment and start wars. The kind of energy that is helpful rather than harmful.
