For example, a top bottling company is making serious efforts to make their trucks hybrids as to consume less fuel and release fewer chemicals into the air. Other companies have also adopted policies such as turning off electricity during specific times in the day, as well as lessening paper trail by using email and paperless transit more.

The importance of keeping our environment in a livable state is so important that it has crept in popular media. Renowned horror movie director M. Night Shyamalan just came out with a movie called, The Happening where plants turn against the human species in self defense it was something of an exaggerated scenario of what the future could be like if we do not take care of our planet.

Going green is also incorporated in films specifically targeted towards a younger audience. This makes sense because we need to educate the next generation on how vital it is to save the environment. Oscar-winning animated film, Happy Feet begins as a coming-of-age movie about an odd penguin, but ends up becoming the penguin species cry for help because their supply of food, which is mainly fish, is going scarce. Excessive pollution is also endangering their seas.

Sea and water pollution was also touched on by blockbuster hit Finding Nemo. The film showed how illegal and excessive fishing, as well as pollution, and the presence of plastic in our bodies of water are detrimental. Even though going green is not the main theme of the movie, its important that kids today learn that even small acts can affect how the earth is evolving.

But the latest Disney animated movie, which also made a lot of movie in the cinemas is the futuristic film, Wall-E. The film is set in a planet earth devoid of human species, flora and fauna. The protagonist of the film is a trash-collector robot who spends all its time building structures made of garbage. It is eventually revealed that the humans are in space in an intergalactic cruise waiting for a sign that the earth is once more livable. The movie is blatantly sending a message to take care of todays earth so that it wont become the earth in the movie.

Incorporating going green themes in films is a great strategy of bringing the message that we need to do something to help save our environment as soon as possible. Lots of people from different demographics, nationalities, and ages are going to watch these films and will hopefully be struck by the going green themes.

It is important to remember that no matter where you are in the world and no matter how small the steps you make in going green, every little thing counts.

Planet earth is now in its critical stage. Forests are denuded, mountains are destroyed, rivers have been polluted and many other environmental issues are bombarding humanity. With the fast paced technology and its developments, its forefather, industrialization is also running fast with the dark changing times of our planet.

Just as the color suggests green instigates a spark of hope with the catastrophe that is happening to our dear environment. The paradise of beautiful flowers, colorful insects and butterflies, and free-flowing rivers may not all be visualized again in a perfect picture, but at least going green slowly prevents the complete destruction of this planet.

This is a call, a responsibility – a vocation for each one of us residing in this once very beautiful planet. But due to mans selfish motives and uncouth practices, trees are now dead logs, rivers are now fatal, and that once fresh air is now like a ghost roaming the polluted city.

There are just many things we could do for mother earth. Going green is as easy as 1 2 3

One: start with your own self. Discipline is very important; before you reach out to other people, you have to practice first on what you preach. Start by throwing your pieces of trash in the proper place or putting that small piece of paper in your pocket when mister bin is nowhere to be found. Segregate properly. There are many places nowadays that practice trash segregation and as an individual it is but right to follow this program. Stop in front of those colorful trash cans, take a moment and bring your trash to its proper home.

Two: Pay it forward. Be a responsible adult or child. Always remember the things learned in school. Be an example to others – to your sons and daughters, to your siblings and especially to your friends. Living righteously for the environment is worth it even if they call you a geek. This is a long term solution even for those persecutors. Your every step is equally important for them. Maybe, just maybe, being an example can bring the practice into a whole new network of people who are also paying it forward.

Three: Reach out to the community. They say it takes two to tango but think about a group of people in a ballroom, enjoying themselves on the dance floor. Just like dancing, you may have different ways: tango, boogie or cha-cha. Helping out with the community natural fertilizer, joining the weekly community clean up, helping out with your schools environmental club.

Young or old, we each have our chance to take part in this green revolution for our mother earth. And if we dance harmoniously, there may be an aesthetic result in the future. Our performance as humans today in helping to save the environment is a great artistry each can offer to our childrens future.
