What does it mean to "go green"?

To go green doesn’t mean chaining yourself up to a tree in the path of a bulldozer to protest deforestation. It’s not just the act of recycling. Going green means making a conscience effort to take care of our environment, our Earth, our planet. It’s the action a person or persons can take to reduce the harmful effects on the environment through consumer habits, behaviors, and lifestyles. So, what can you do? It can be as simple as turning off lights when leaving a room, taking your lunch in a reusable bag, recycling, take shorter showers, ride your bike more, wash clothes using cold water, growing a garden or buying food from local farms. Whatever you do, leave the least amount of footprints so that future generations can enjoy the natural beauties our planet has to offer.
