Attitude towards environment

" WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT""What we think is what we do", attitudes leads our behaviour. Every bit that has change the environment mostly is derived from our own creation. We could considered human as egoistic in nature, we acquire as much as possible from natural resources that is available to satisfy our needs and wants especially evolution in technology. We take but without giving back, because most of us doesn't care about the environment. and why don't we? From the survey, the result shows that many individual is not aware of seriousness or the cause that environment could bring to us. Even nowadays there is an increasingly in natural disasters but we still ignore or not facing the problem we have created, we think that it doesn't really affect our daily life and so we are not motivate enough to take action, or another possibility is the influence of others. There ain't sufficient people in the society to bring out the thoughts of protecting the environment which is not strong enough at the moment that could change our attitudes such as from the government, companies, parents, teachers, friends and more, who has the most influential power to impact those people we live or meet with. From companies point of view, when we think why do they exists, most answers come with- to make profit, as mention not only individual but also the company are self centred, they do whatever way that they could generate as much money as possible, companies such as produce cigarette, fireworks, oil are afraid or escape from saving the planet because they want to retain their business in the market or for survival. Anyhow, every individual has the responsibility to do the best to protect the environment, but first we need to figure out the "good remedy" of how can we change our attitudes and in fact this is the most important thing before we step in any further, cause if we don't, not only we wont take any action but also we will just keep destroying our planet.

Green Food

Green Food is becoming more and more popular, do you guys know why?

Here are four guesses by me.

1.The people's life level is improving day after day.

2.The different attitude to the healthy lifestyle.

3.environmental pollution

4.The average quality of people in our society is increasing.

After all, with the development of society, people have realized that we need green food. Food is the staff of life, and is the first thing we think about the healthy. So far, people are particular about the food, and the most important thing is to eat well. With the continuous improvement of science technology, much fertilizer and pesticide with excessive chemical compositions in them, have bad effects on human being’s health. Therefore, safe and nutritional “green food” comes into people’s daily life. Without health, the summation of the other aspect of your life is zero.

Healthy food includes vegetable, fruit, nuts and so on. It contains rich in fiber and various vitamins which help to keep us healthy and strong. It’s called ‘environmentally friendly food’ or ‘eco-food’. Also, meat, eggs, and milk are healthy food. It is high in protein to build our body and muscles. The importance of diet to health, especially in the prevention and cure of illness, is slowly becoming apparent. People endeavor to provide you with more than the basic and usually inaccurate information on diet and nutrition.

People's diet tends to be balanced. Eating a balanced diet means eating a wide variety of foods. The five basic groups are vegetables; fruit; bread and cereal; dairy; and meat, poultry, fish, and legumes (dry beans, lentils and peas). There's the sixth group: fats, sweets, and alcohol. It's a group you must avoid getting too many from them. Foods in this group have plenty of calories and not a fair balance of other nutrients.

Health Diet Pyramid has become a buzz word these years. People’s diet mostly changed referring to this pyramid. It contains four levels.

I think it is necessary for everyone to obey a healthy diet, because people’s health is essential in modern life. Maybe an optional choice is doing sports, which has nothing to do with our topic.

Water polution

Water pollution is on of the hit topic nowadays~!!

                    Can u imagin that 30 later you will probably be drinking your own rubish?
                    Can u use the water that my be dirtier than your body to take a shower?
                    Can u water you beautiful garden with black water?

I dun think everyone has doing their responsibility.
About 20% of the world’s population lacks access to safe drinking water and about 50% lacks adequate sanitation.

The King River is Australia’s most polluted river, suffering from a severe acidic condition related to mining operations.100, 000 marine mammals, 1 million sea birds and other aquatic lives are killed due to plastic waste in water and coastal area.


But I think these kinds of problems are not "news". It's just not many people realized them.
Assume that you have 10000 branches of hair. You cut 1 per day. In about 27 year you will have no hair.

So as the resources on the earth. If you dun proctect the water resource that fullfill your inant need every day. You won't have enough water to support your life. 
It is everyone's responsibility to play the role on water pollution reducing and this campaigning. Decrease the use of unrecycle product and pollutant consumption is one of the best way to do it!

Green Economy

       Green economy：Does it include you?

People need to protect the environment while they are developing economy. Especially for the developing countries. For example, Chian, in the socialist modernization drive in the process of economic development and environmental protection often conflict. Some people may hold the opinion that, we can develop the economy first and fix the environment later. However,that is quite unreasonable!!!

To my opinion, in order to meet the increasing population and environmentally sustainable, the green economy has become a serious problem. Thus, it is very necessary for everyone to fully understand the importance of promoting the green consumption and urgency. Do you guys remember my last post? It is also talking about environemnt, the point is about action, not just keep everything in mind. We can not throw all the pressure to government, we need to help each other. Government is the macro factor, and individual is micro factor. Government need to drive the green industry development, promote the upgrading of industrial structure optimization. What about us? It is very easy, w just need to protect the environment in our daily life.

Can you image your child will live in the bad environemnt? Come on guys! Let's protect ourselves, protect our children protect our big family- The Earth. So, green economy is necessary for us, it is a good way to form production and consumption in the virtuous cycle, make every thing last forever.

environment protection

My Environment Inc.

Everyone can make a big 
difference

It is obvious that we can see and felt the earth is changing significantly. All the creatures are experiencing climate change, global warming, and natural disasters that are more frequent than back in old days. It has alarmed us is time to awake and not until the world become irremediable.

Importance of Environmental protections

Environmental protection means that human beings consciously protect and reasonably make use of natural resources and prevent natural environment from pollution and destruction;to the environment that has been polluted and destroyed comprehensive management measures have to be taken to create an environment suitable for human life and work. 

• Our existence (human, animals and plants) depend on environment because we live in a closed interrelated system.
• Maintaining the environment helps preserve animal species that combine with the environment to help maintain plants (seed dispersion, pollination by insects, etc) on which we depend.
• Maintaining the environment allows future generations of humans to grow and live without having to deal with anything we've done to contaminate the environment in which we do live and they will live.

How can you help to protect it?
1. Electricity


Electricity is produced by burning fossil fuels namely natural gas and crude oil, which are non-renewable sources of energy. The burning of these fuels produces pollutants and greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), which is often associated with global warming. 

Tips:
- Switch these offwhen not in use: Lights, Air conditioning (do not over cool and close doors and windows when the air-conditioning is on), computers,and other appliance that consume electricity. 
- Shopping: Many products are now helping you to reduce your energy use and your parents’ energy bills! Check new products for their efficiency grade and rating and keep an eye out for the Energy Efficiency Recommended logo.
- Solar Panel: Solar panels create electricity from sunlight, which can then be used to power their homes. Solar heating panels make hot water, reducing the need for electricity or gas to heat water or run the central heating system.

2. Pollution

Pollution is caused when harmful or poisonous substances are released or found in the air, rivers, seas, animals, plants or even our bodies from the factories and cars. 

Tips:
- Don’t drop litter: Birds and animals can mistake litter for food. Litter can end up in rivers and block drains, or in the sea and be eaten by fish. Also, some litter will stay around for thousands of years
- On your bike: Instead of taking the car get your bicycle out or walk, it is also good for health and exercise too. 
- Pleasing products : Many household cleaning products contain harmful chemicals which are washed down the drain. Encourage your parents to buy eco-friendly products or even make your own from natural substances

3. Rubbish


Every year we produce millions and millions tonnes of waste. We throw them away and many of these things are made up of natural resources such as trees, coal, oil and aluminium and one day some of these resources will be used up completely. Also recycling those substances would save up lots of energy to make a new one. 

Tips:
- Packaging: Packaging is a big problem for the environment, so avoid buying products that have a lot of paper and plastic around them.
- sort it out: Classify those rubbish into several category at home or use the recycle bin in the public place.
- Plastic Bags: Reusing the bags to shop 
- Reuse them: Give any unwanted clothes to charity shops or to a Salvation Army recycling bank and save trees by recycling your own paper.Paper with a clean side can be made into notepads with a simple staple.

4. Deforestations


Rainforest are important because they can produce us oxygen through photosynthesis and help to regulate the world's climate and atmosphere. About half of all the species of animals and plants in the world live in rainforests and thousands of rainforest plants contain substances that can be used in medicines. Rainforests has been destroyed every year and now only cover 6% of the world as we cut down the trees for materials

Tips:
- Good wood & flowers: Tropical hardwoods such as teak and mahogany are grown in rainforests and take hundreds of years to grow so avoid any products made with these woods. It is better have products made with pine, beech, ash or oak. Orchids are popular in florists, but many come from the rainforest, check before you buy them 
- Protected Pets: Avoid purchase those pets comes from the wild for example parrots and macaws, this can gradually stops buyers from importing. 
- Save trees: reused of papers.


DO YOUR BITS & SAVE THE EARTH!

Action and not just thinking

 

The Earth is losing its trees. Ethiopia, for example, is down to 3% forest cover. After trees are cut down, the land loses its fertility. Hunger and conflict grow. Biodiversity dwindles, and water supplies dry up. The deserts creep forward, hastening climate change. But there is something we can do.

We need to regreen the world! That is a complex and heavy mission for the human being. However, if every individual can share this mission, the target can be finished faster and easier.

Just to my opinion, the construction of ecological environment is the basis of developing green food. Thus, we should begin with protecting ecological environment. For example, protect the public plant, do not destory the trees, or pick up the flowers in the public area. Also, People need to pay attention to clean and do not throw rubbish to the ground any time.

They are the common sense for everyone even though we were still the child. Thus, the point is action not just keep every thing in mind. I am here to encourage everyone to take part in the plans, aiming to help the Earth to become increasingly healthier and greener every year.

Sustainability

The word Sustainability is derived from the Latin sustinere, and mainly, it is about maintaining supporting and enduring. In order to implement the the sustainability policy on the governments, business and individual should owns a perception of environment protection and at the same time they should be able to satisfy social equity and profitability ability. usually, this comes to ethical issues.

While businesses generating profit, the problem of ethical conducts and environmental protection place a great threat on the process. however, as the increasing demand on sustainability and the worst situation and global warming business should consider more on the sustainability aspect. many businesses nowadays, have payed much attention on this process and meanwhile generate lots if profit. moreover, environment protection can be a path way to built brand image and earn customer loyalty as well as advertising. 

Apart from business, every individual have the responsibility to devote in this campaign. A major driver of human impact on Earth systems is the destruction of biophysical resources and especially, the Earth's ecosystems. The environmental impact of a community or of humankind as a whole depends both on population and impact per person, which in turn depends in complex ways on what resources are being used, whether or not those resources are renewable, and the scale of the human activity relative to the carrying capacity of the ecosystems involved. Careful resource management can be applied at many scales, from economic sectors like agriculture, manufacturing and industry, to work organizations, the consumption patterns of households and individuals and to the resource demands of individual goods and services.
