GREEN LIVING - CONTINUOUS LIFE OF THE 21TH CENTURY

Living a Green and Sustainable Life

“Living a green and sustainable life means creating an ecosystem that works with Nature, instead of confronting it, and that does not cause long-term or irreparable damage to any part of the environmental web” - LAYMEN

Living a green or committed life refers to the ever-increasing process of using natural resources in an efficient way that promotes sustainability and facilitates the effort to build a better world for our future generations. ‘Green living’ means that we make our own decisions about our health and engage in practices that reduce the negative impact on our society and also improve the life of the planet and the creatures. Green life is very important in our daily lives. Green life involves a lifestyle that creates a healthy involvement in home and on the planet. Some of the major factors which contribute to green health are generating as little waste as possible and reducing overuse of water. Going green have some effects on the society. It helps the environment by reducing the amount of pollutants that enter the soil, water and air.

Individual Actions to Protect the Environment

Nowadays, we can probably see that the green is everywhere - in the news, politics, fashion, and technology. The concern and discourse around this topic is much needed, however with a million messages and ideas coming to us from all sides, it can be easy to get caught up in the multitude of suggestions coming our way such as - throwing away plastic bags, lowering the thermostat, and recycling. What’s worse is that one may suffer from green “fatigue” - that is, delaying green messages because of its abundance.

As globalization makes the world smaller, it becomes easier to see how human lives (plants, animals and ecosystems) are harmonized everywhere. So objects manufactured using cheap raw material could affect the quality of life, pesticides used could affect the health of humans and animals alike, and greenhouse gas emissions from all over the globe could affect the ecosystem of the rain forest in Brazil.

The fact is that everything we do has an impact on the world – be it positive or negative. The good news is that we have the power to control most of our actions and, this includes the impact of our actions on the environment. These actions could range from where we live, what we buy, eat, and use to light the home- can have a global impact. For example, 25 percent of western medicinal plants are derived from flowers from the Amazon rain forest? And less than one percent of these tropical trees and plants have been studied by scientists? These figures suggest that we all have a large (and growing) personal contribution to the health and well-being of the world that we live in. In addition to protecting biodiversity (and stimulants), forests are also a good source of carbon. The bottom line is that benefits everyone on earth to help keep our wildlife alive and growing. But adopting a green lifestyle is not just about helping to keep the rainforests intact, but to also improve the way of living.

It would be absurd to imagine that humans would have the same benefits. Living close to green spaces was associated with lower levels of stress, increased social participation, higher levels of activity, and less exposure to air pollution. Improved conditions can also reduce the stress levels associated with noise and the functioning of city life, leading to a relaxed, slow-moving life. People living in green areas tend to have higher levels of engagement among their peers and get more outdoor activities, leading to higher levels of vitamin D - a health-related vitamin.
