Going Green


Going green means becoming environmentally and economically friendly. Ways to do so would be to Recycle to conserve energy and natural resources, Reduce the pollution, amount of energy we use, and other waste products of our daily lives(garbage, chemicals, etc.) and hopefully we can reduce bigger things like the holes in the ozone which cause global warming.

Sustainability describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time as stated on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability.
To put in simpler terms sustainability is the capability of being continued over a long period of time with the least possible affect on the environment.

Last week, we talked about both of these topics and how we could use them to benefit us in efforts to help make our communities better places to live. We discussed how sustainability could be used in growing the foods that we eat, sustainable agriculture. So basically we are at least one step closer to achieving our key goals.
