In the world in which we live so many things are represented with colours, in another sense this implies that colours give meanings. While driving on the road, we halt our vehicles when the traffic light shows red and we move when it shows green, this is one of the very many importance of colours to our world. Currently, earth our home is undergoing changes which science has proved to us that it may be disastrous to mankind if mitigation measures are not adopted. Our daily newspapers carry weather records that shows departures from the normal weather trends in rainfall, temperature and relative humidity due to the vary many daily harmful activities carried on by man in his environment. Global warming is no longer a neologism as instituitions all over the world are undergoing researches on a yearly basis to discover new solutions to our present situation. A doctor of Philosophy in environmental science making a research on the possible solution will surely tackle this global problem from the root. So, what's the root cause? Man's activities is the main cause of our very many environmental issues.
Man is a rational being and he seeks to get the maximum benefit he can from his environment. Our environment on a global basis is blessed with so many resources that man needs and enjoys using but man's activities has had a degrading effect on our environment so far. Technological advancement, Development, Urbanization, Industrialization, Wars and many other human factors have influenced the global condition and created a vacuum of environmental problems which can only be filled by man himself. In details, the use of fossil fuels, chemical fertilizers, improved machines and engines for industries that emit Green house gases, indiscriminate felling of trees without adequate replacement, uncontrolled bush burning, uncontrolled forest fires, exposure of untreated waste materials to the environment, air, land and water pollution, release of noxious gases from improved weapons of war (nuclear weapons) pose a big threat to mother nature's health. How then can we solve our own problem? It is simply summarized in the two words "Go Green".
Green in this concept symbolizes the different means employed in the management of our environment in order to strike a balance between stability and availability of nature's resources and the satisfaction of man's needs that he obtains regularly from the environment without any damage done to either. Sustainability is our goal and setting up of environmental policies to achieve this goal is our mission. Our earth when viewed from an abstract perspective is blinking a faint red from its traffic light post indicating to all earth inhabitants to stop its degrading activities and before we can move we all will have to implement our own go green concepts in our little corners or vehicles. It's our duty to save earth, It's our duty to help mother nature heal. It's our duty to make her smile to its inhabitants in reversal of her sicknesses including climate change. Let's rise and hold on to our responsibility for sustainability will speak well of us to our unborn children what we do for them now.
And go vegan too 😉
