Can The Present Ecological Crisis Be Solved By Going Green?

The chief culprit causing the present-day ecological problem is the human being. The big question is whether the problem is because of ignorant individuals, or has it been the deception of the huge corporations. Either way, average people do a great deal of squandering, and misusing of natural resources. So what can people do when they are helpless? It is nevertheless possible for human individuals by their actions to overturn a number of the global ecological imbalance resulting from global warming.

By adopting some of the green movement's principles, much progress can be made. There is no plausible solution for the ills of the environment other than adopting a green lifestyle. We cannot altogether undo what's already been done, but we can stop the crisis from developing further and perhaps overturn some of the damage. People can at least stop further harm to the environment by following and sticking to earth-friendly principles. There are a number of things that are necessities for making the planet greener and cleaner as well.

These include utilizing green waste, obtaining food locally, eating a vegetarian diet, and not utilizing throwaway materials. Virtually everyone could do all of those things by simply deciding to do them. More prudent and less wasteful consumption of electrical energy and water are necessary if the ecological balance is to be regained. The climbing level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has been the cause of the ecological crisis. The current crisis is being added to by all of the modern equipment, from mills, and vehicles to large farms, with all of their modern machinery.

Recent calamities such as tsunamis, flooding, earthquakes, odd extremes of atmospheric condition and shortages in food and water can all be linked to the present environmental crisis. All the signals point to a worsening situation, requiring aggressive intervention to stay the decay. One of the most essential things for today is to convince people to live green. The focus should shift to swaying men and women that their individual contributions, even if in small ways, will make a difference and are critical components of success on a larger scale. The media is apparently best-placed to take on the job of convincing the masses that any step towards greener living is praiseworthy and will make a huge difference.

If the masses don't react appropriately, it may well be that we find that we have run out of alternatives. Without essentially raising our environmental cognizance, the decline towards eventual ruin appears inevitable. The very survival of our world certainly depends on people accepting responsibility for their individual roles in the overall effort to resolve the environmental crisis. The outlook for our future generation is a distressing one, if people continue along the path set by the current generation.
