Are you Aware of the Eco-Friendly Philosophy?

April 6, 2011 by Jon

Climate change and global warming issues have so far pushed us to lead eco-friendly lives. Many term it as going green but while others are able to cope and understand what it really means to really live an eco-conscious world, the fact remains that the whole philosophy surrounding eco-friendliness has to be further enhanced.

For one, many associate it with the color green. So with that in mind, trees, plants and nature are the first things that come into mind. This is partly true but if you want to generalize the whole eco-friendly philosophy, there is more to it that meets the eye. There is a reason why global warming and climate change are tagged part of it and if you would have your way, chances are you may discover that the branches included in it go a whole lot deeper.

You are bound to hear this topics when eco-friendly is in the air:

1. Recycling
2. Organic Living
3. Animal Extinction
4. Endangered Species
5. Alternative Energy
6. Alternative Fuel

Each of these topics are in a niche of their own. Sum them all up and they comprise the whole essence of global warming and climate change. But if you take on them separately, you may be surprised to note that they are only about 5% roughly if you want to sum up their relevance to global warming.

Al Gore hit it right when he addressed this issue. Apparently he is vindicated and today, many of us are finding our own way on how to survive this unusual glitch we are mainly responsible for.

Global Warming – Why Only Now? (Part 2)

June 13, 2008 by Will

The mouse you use, the computer I used to make this post, all of these are wonders of modern technology that has made life way easier that it was a few years back but all of these stuff contain or involved the use of extremely toxic substances that all have to go somewhere (guess where)?
Developed countries have the might and will to engage and develop sustainable economic growth but what about the majority of people on earth who live in developing economies (wait they have uses, they receive the trash of others so we don’t have to worry about them).
Power is one of the most polluting industries the world over yet we consume lots and lots of electricity for we are addicted to it. That iPod, PSP, Cellular Phone, etc.; all of them consume tons upon tons of electricity (take the new iPhone and multiply the power consumed by one charge and multiply it by the number of units sold and you’d get the picture). We are way past the point of no return and we have to pay attention to the so-called “nuts/activists” you get mad at who caused the traffic jam on your way to work for what they are saying is true, life is getting harder and harder each and everyday. We humans are the only ones who have the ability to talk and communicate with each other and what about the millions of GOD’s other creatures we kill directly or indirectly through our actions, who’s listening to them?
Global warming is an old issue the real issue is that we are now faced with an inconvenient truth, WE HAVE TO LISTEN NOW, or else!!!!??????!!…..
