Why be green?

Why should you want to have a greener lifestyle?  This earth is our only home, and will be the only home for the children and grand children in our families and community.  We need to take care of our home, and make sure it is a good home for us as people and for other living things on it.

The earth works in cycles and has been in balance for millions of years.  The gases that animals breathe in are the gases that plants breathe out and visa versa.  The waste of one living thing is food for another living thing. Water moves from ground to sky and back.

We as humans are disrupting many of these cycles and knocking the world out of balance.  We are thinking only of the present and not of the future. This is our only home, and we are changing it in ways which are making lives of people very difficult now and in the future, and destroying much of its wonderful diversity.
