What Does It Mean To Go Green?

Since the issue of global warming more commonly known as global warning people busy talking, at both international and local, environmental consciousness becomes dramatically important point in human life. Suddenly the Go Green movement became so popular and moving simultaneously in almost all corners of the world. So what's really go green? 

Every aspect of life was filled with environmentally conscious movement, ranging from structuring the home / office environment-friendly, up to a company policy that label themselves with Go Green banner posted prominently on a number of offices and event activities. In fact, in a few decades ago, not many people who care about this issue. If there were, more dominated by local and international NGOs. 

Various ways have been undertaken, in order to reduce burden to be borne by the earth, as a result of the use of technology is not environmentally friendly. It's no secret too, how every year the rate of deforestation is increasing, so the total forest cover as a support of continuity of the ecosystem is disturbed, resulting in the emergence of climate change and natural disasters, like floods and landslides. Not to mention, exhaust gas emissions of motor vehicles, households and factories contributed to making this Earth is getting hotter. 

In general, global warming, or better known as global warming is the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, oceans and the Earth's land.The main cause of global warming is increasing the greenhouse effect that occurred on Earth. So do not be surprised, if only in a matter of years, changes in the Earth's temperature rose dramatically. It is characterized by the least extensive ice cover in the north and south poles, due to the collapse of the ice-ice region. 

In fact, initially, the greenhouse effect is very useful for living things on Earth, due to the greenhouse effect causes the earth's atmosphere is warm. The condition is what makes the earth warm comfortable place to live by all living things. If the greenhouse effect does not exist, then the earth becomes a very cold planet. 

However, in recent years, the greenhouse effect has increased significantly in the husband's dance global warming, the rising temperature of Earth's surface and results in a very extreme climate change. 

Moreover, it can result in disruption of forests and other ecosystems, thereby reducing its ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. One of the impacts of global warming is to look at the behavior of orangutans (Pongo Pygmeus) in the interior of Borneo. Once this aboreal animals live in the tops of trees by eating fruit and insects, however, now more orangutans activity below. 

If global warming is not addressed will cause a greater impact that the loss of the islands which consequently changes the face of our world map. This disaster caused by rising sea levels due to melting of icebergs in the polar regions. If this condition is allowed to continue, it is probable that future generations who most suffer the consequences. 

Then, they can only hear the legend about the wonders of nature that they could not enjoy. Starting from the awareness, some scientists in the world are working hard to reduce the impact of this global warming, one with the campaigns go green movement. 

Simply put, Go Green was the propaganda used in the environmental campaign, or it could be said to be a movement 'back to basics' environmental awareness.Porpaganda this purpose all kinds, including increasing awareness of the environment. 

The practice of this discourse, including reducing carbon consumption per person per capita (carbon footprint) of various resources, both non-renewable such as oil, gas and minerals, and critical resources such as trees, water, marginal land, materialschemicals maker polymer (plastic), and their derivatives. 

Indeed, the movement is not just a moral movement to build awareness of the environment, but more distant is the tactical and strategic movement to anticipate climate change in the present and future. In short, the movement is about an era of reform thought and concrete action to integrate the tactical life. 

Now, humans are no longer limited by geographic barriers and frontiers in building a communal consciousness. It can not be denied, educated man who lived on Earth begin to be aware pengtingnya concept of sustainable development (sustainability).That paradigm is visible from the snowball phenomenon 'environmental revolution' today. 

Despite the ideological level, all people believe in the preservation of nature.Derivative question that arises is how to actualization in everyday life. Redundant if consciousness is not practiced. 

Generally, when everyone was asked about the importance of environmental penyelamatkan, simultaneously definite answer, YES. However, they do not understand, if you save the environment would impact on their enjoyment pengorbankan, for example, reduced use of private vehicles, not smoking, not using electricity in excess, to the reduced use of air conditioning. Or a more extreme, do not use chemicals that damage the environment. 

So, not wrong if Go Green is the most expensive gift can we give to our grandchildren. The concept of Go Green or go back to nature by taking into account environmental conditions, very large effect on the success of reducing the threat of global warming. 

Therefore, systematically there are some principles which have become a standard reference in the Go Green movement worldwide. This principle is summarized in a symbol that is memorable, which is 4R. The 4R that we can apply in daily life in order to minimize the residual or final results are: 

Reduce or what we might call with a decrease in life is our effort to reduce or material goods that we usually use. Due to minimizing it will be able to reduce the waste it generates. 

Reuse or use the back is by buying things that can be used again or goods that are not disposable. The development of an increasingly advanced age creates disposable items to lighten our work, but the effect it produces is very dangerous, because it will cause the accumulated garbage of the goods. 

Recycle ie recycle, now many ways to utilize waste into valuable recycled goods, in this way we can reduce waste and make it a valuable item. 

Replace that can we interpret the change that is trying to replace the goods that damage the environment with the things environmentally friendly, so that the goods tersebu if a garbage can in the natural degradation. 

With 4 of this principle, it is expected that the burden should be on the responsibility of the Earth can be reduced, or at least the amount of waste the final result does not increase drastically. Therefore, let us budayakan and execute the movement to go green, become part of our lifestyle. Because no efforts are most significant, except starting from ourselves. That is why, save the environment the most effective starting from small things. Time to reduce the threat of global warming with the launch of Go Green's life.
