Going green

So before a person can GO GREEN they need to know what it means. so i first looked at Wikipedia, So I quickly jumped over to Wikipedia and searched for “going green” Turns out Wikipedia actually does not even have a page or definition for going green.  They simply redirect you to a page on “Environmentalism” .  So now going green has become an “ism”… interesting, as “ism”‘s are usually a bad thing but this is what it had to say 

“Environmentalism is a broad philosophy and social movement centered on a concern for the conservation and improvement of the environment. Environmentalism is associated with the color green.”

now to me that is a big bunch of words so next i went to Google.  When in doubt I always go to Google.  So I searched for “going green definition”.  I just love that Google knows what I am looking for and if you search for something with the word “definition” in it they give you a list of definitions from all over the web. Clicking on the “Web definitions for Going Green”, Google provided six different options, including the “environmentalism” definition from Wikipedia but i found one that i think i could use.


“A phrase referring to individual action that a person can consciously take to curb harmful effects on the environment through consumer habits, behavior, and lifestyle.”

after reading this i thought to myself isn't this the whole project idea that we had to change someones view on things? but then i thought i should go live in some Eco house and make no carbon foot print by living off mother earth ... which meant no phone ... and to tell the truth i didn't want to turn my life upside down for the earth. but i would do what i could do. which leads me to this going green isn't becoming a hippy or no electricity its just trying to make smaller impact on life.
