How green are we prepared to be?

Nowadays the importance of taking care of the environment has increased because of global warming, endangered species dying out and the greenhouse effect. Environmental mitigation has always been an important task, but people haven’t really realised it until now. The media has made a huge difference to the way we think about environmental protection. Many people have recently noticed the problem with humans not  working on sustainable development and environmental mitigation. Today most people are probably in favour of environmental protection, but the next step is to change our words in actions.

All the time we can see more and more environmentally friendly products and inventions coming out. This really is a magnificent thing but, on the other hand, these new generation products can be pretty expensive for a normal income person. Products being expensive will affect people’s decisions on what version of the product they will buy. It can be so much cheaper to buy the none biodegradable version of the product.

I’m trying to be as environmentally friendly as possible. I recycle everything possible and I’m also very economical. On the other  hand I know I could be more eco-friendly, for example to not buy organic products or go to school by public transportation, but sometimes it can be pretty hard to do it. In the end, quite many people are in the same position as I: they think they are doing enough for the environment but they really are not. So, in my opinion, the problem still lies on people not being aware enough about the problems of environment.
