Why is Everyone Going Green?• We only have one planet and once our

Reason for Green #1: Save Energy• The need of the hour is to conserve energy as

much as possible and make sure that it is put to good use.

• A lot goes into generating energy. Proper utilization would allow energy to be provided in areas that need it the most.

• This would also eliminate the need for using alternative sources.

Reason for Green #2: Save Costs• Green products, initiatives and habits are

highly cost effective.

• Not only do they cost less, but they also last longer.

• The savings are made by maximizing the potential use of the available resources. It also requires proper management of resources with emphasis on reuse and recycling.

Reason for Green #3: Save Fuel• Fuel is non-renewable and once it is depleted, it

is gone.

• Why not go green and reduce fuel consumption? Renewable energy sources as well as fuel are being innovated to ensure convenience without compromising the health of the environment.

Reason for Green #4: Save Resources• Humans have been blessed with the bountiful

mother Earth.

• There are numerous resources that we use in our everyday lives that we take for granted. If we run out, there may be no turning back.

• Going green not only helps us to make the most of the available resources, but also enables us to ensure their prolonged availability.

health also.

• Using organic products and reducing the consumption of energy is beneficial in providing a healthy environment.

• Plus, healthy options can prevent disease, improve the quality of our food, water or even the air that we breathe.

Reason for Green #6: Save the Environment• Any harm that is inflicted on the environment

has a direct impact on us.

• The environment cradles us and supports every life form that exists today.

• Would you want to endanger your very existence by causing harm to the environment?

• Remember, when you lose the environment, no place is safe anymore

Reason for Green #7: Save our Future• Just imagine, if previous generations had been

absolutely relentless in harming the environment, would we be living in the world that we know today?

• We have a responsibility to preserve the world for future generations which would include keeping our resources, environment and the planet in good condition.

• All this would be made possible only with a “green attitude”
