How you do your part



In this day and age, recycling and being green with your habits can make a big impact. Our planet is getting older and older each day, and our populations are growing. Therefore, waste and pollution are at an all time high. We each must do our own small part to make sure our earth remains sustainable.

However, many people these days simply do not care. They seem to only live in the present day and to not care at all about the future generations of the world that will inherit our mistakes. It is at this point that we must take a stand and fix our own problems. As of late, going green has become a much wider known thing, however many people still are not doing their part.

It stems from laziness and in some cases, ignorance. Some people don't know what it means to go green; they don't know the proper steps to take to recycle their trash or even about the large amounts of energy they waste each day. These issues could be solved if people who routinely participate in ways to conserve energy and eliminate waste simply informed those close to them, or even if the government went to greater lengths to inform the populace.

Also you can do your own small part by remembering to recycle your bottles and recyclable goods. There's always volunteer opportunities in your community; try to clean up your local park or get together with fellow concerned citizens and help clean up trash around town. There are plenty of ways you can get involved in your community; all you must do is make the effort and look into them.
