Going Green Services - You can help save our environment too

How can you go ?

The truth is that everything single thing we do every day has an impact on the planet -- good or bad. The good news is that each and every one of us has the power to control most of our choices and, therefore, the impact you create: From where we live to what we buy, eat, and use to light our home. To where and how we vacate, to how we shop or vote - we can all have a global impact.

Embracing a greener lifestyle isn't just about helping to preserve equatorial rain forests, it can also mean improving our health, and ultimately, improving our overall quality of life. Why wouldn't anyone want to go green?

Our planet is in trouble! Almost every day we seem to hear of yet another problem affecting the environment - and what a list of problems! - pollution, acid rain, extreme weather conditions and natural disasters, global warming, the destruction of rainforests and other wild habitats, the decline and extinction of thousands of species of animals and plants....and so on.

Nowadays, most of us know that these threats exist and that humans have caused them. Many of us are very worried about the future of our planet and unless we can find a way of solving the problems we have made, then the environment will suffer even more than it already has.

Every one of us, whatever age we are, CAN do something to help slow down and reverse some of the damage. We cannot leave the problem-solving entirely to the experts - we ALL have a responsibility for our environment.

We must learn to live in a sustainable way i.e. learn to use our natural resources which include air, freshwater, forests, wildlife, farmland and ocean without damaging them. As populations expand and lifestyles change, we must keep the world in good condition so that future generations will have the same natural resources that we have.

Going Green Services took part in Earth Day this year. We were a sponsor on Channel 4's Better Nashville show during Earth Day week of 15-18th April 2009, and we volunteered at the Earth Day Festival in Nashville, TN.
On the TV segment we discussed global warming, embracing a greener lifestyle, what my company is all about, our products we sell online and how we can ALL help even in a small way with our environment.

Earth Day was celebrated by thousands across Nashville, TN this year, with many learning about ways to be greener and others doing their part to support our local ecosystem.

The point of this year’s festival was to help unite different groups with the same passion, said co-chair Jennifer Hagan-Dier.

Many of the booths had more serious missions: spreading the message of conservation and a greener Nashville. Aegis Science Corp. and the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office partnered to offer safe disposal of expired medications.

“When you drop medication down the toilet, it goes straight to wastewater, and the system isn’t designed to deal with these substances,” said Rebecca Heltsley, a research scientist with Aegis. “They could have environmental effects over time … and we’re also trying to keep these medications off the streets and prevent identity theft.”

Earth Hour was a huge success in 2009

If you participated in Earth Hour, thank you, your participation made that success possible.

As the lights fade in Honolulu bringing to a close Earth Hour’s roll out across 25 time zones in over 4,000 cities and towns in 88 countries, hundreds of millions of people have “voted earth” in the world’s largest demonstration of public concern about climate change.

“Earth Hour signals a real desire from people all over the world for urgent action on climate change, and a mandate for the world’s leaders to secure a new deal in Copenhagen that defines an effective global response."
