How green are you?

[Ed]

Hi,
I personally think I'm pretty "green". I try not to contribute to the consistent deterioration of our environment. However, more than a single individual effort, it is much more important to have responsible government policies towards conservation. Let's put a stop to the enormous development projects some governments want saying that jobs have to be created. Once the dam, tunnel, bridge, highway, harbor, etc. is finished then they will have to come up with another one to keep those people employed. And so it goes on and on and on. Is this the only form of employment?
Shouldn't we worry about how to feed those who are hungry or cure those who are sick as a result of the consistent destruction of their envirnment? Is development with the corresponding destruction of our environment the only solution?

Green is the colour of progress and for all of us it should be given a high importance ( be it in any form ). In tems of nature , green revolution is a path to make it large . It is not important that your country or your firm start it ,it could be you as well. Don't just wait for someone to give a helping hand. C'mon, be positive and ask yourself do you need anyone?

Its great that you strated it and it would be appreciable if we all follow it.
"Go Green".

Hi,

,
I will try to speak to you,but I have not managed yet.
How green am I?
I`m green I think.Once I was washing my clothes outside ,I used detergent then I threw the used water away,and put clean water on the clothes.A bee lighted on them,started to drink and after a few minutes I noticed that the little bee had died.It did not moved.
I felt sorry for it and felt myself ashamed.Is it the detergent which caused the death of that poor creature?Yes,I think so.
I realy try to be green and maintain yne beauty of this world.
Take care,
Marica

Dear Alan

Green is good idea. Green is symbol of life but isn't only factor of life. We and other animal must eat and drink. Also we need cloth and house. All of this may be damage to green nature. What do we this time? We like and need green and we need to eat, drink, cloth and house. This is a paradox.
I think we must use from nature but as much as need. We have to regenerate much extent of thing that may be dirty our world. Then we must clean our world.
Unfortunately, a little of government that agree with this idea and many people that agree with this idea don't have enough money that initiated regenerated wast.
Fortunately, the populations of people agree with green gradually became increase.

With best regards to "green people"

All night long, all night long! Green! I'm green, buzzy, and bouncy. That's from one cameo. Isn't it slick?

Dear Alan,

It was nice to read again this essay about being green and the birds.
Yesterday I read a tale to my children about Redbreast Robin.I read them in English .From the tale we could know how the breast of the Robin,which lived in Northland, became red.It saved a fire from being totally dead,extinguished.During the work ,while the robin was flapping its wings ,its grey breast was scorched and turned into beautiful golden red.I don`t know if this robin is the same with that which lives in England but people in Northland love that little bird very much.

Thank you
Marica

Am I a green person? I think yes, because I like to help do the best for the enviroment, and the earth needs all our support to be again like was. Some people don't understand this actions to reforest and protect the animals who are dissapeared of the land. So we have to do the best for give to our children and grand children a better place to live.

I am very green, specially because a love nature, I felt so bad when I see people that doesn't care about our health, because that's the point, if we are green, we will have health, living in a clean area, having a lot of trees, and less CO2.

Hi everybody,

Unfortunately, I'm not a 'green'. I suppose the 'greens' are people who dedicate their lives to saving our planet from polution, deforestation, 'greenhouse' effect which leads to the global warming and so on and so on and so forth.
I am not a 'green' but I wish I had more time to help the 'greens'. I want my children (and not only MY children) to live with a perspective of the future, the future with green colours predominating on the Earth, the future without stinking garbage around and, sometimes, IN the towns, cities and villages. The future with the Baikal with its unique self-purifying and self-guarding system which may be destroyed by the men chasing more and more properties.
I am not a 'green' but I breathe in one air with them and with you - everything on the Earth is connected and a gigantic plant on the other side of Russia or in Germany or in the USA exhausting poisonous smoke may cause acid rains in my place.
I am not a 'green' but I was once greatly impressed by one phrase. I don't remember who have said it and it goes like following, "The humankind behaves like a sort of infection on the surface of our planet but the Nature has got a mighty health and it is up to the Nature to find a vaccine."
I am not 'a green' but I think that they are right and everybody is to make there contribution to paying the debt to the Earth. And everybody will make their contribution - at last every BODY becomes a fertilizer for green grass.
