Top 7 jaw-dropping reasons to go green easily for a longer life


Go green is one of the most popular phrases we use in our conversation. In newspapers, TV shows and general debate it is more widely used all over the world.

Rising level of environmental pollution and natural resources' depletion has compelled people to take this phrase seriously. Green global leaders also want each one of us go green to make planet Earth greener and safer place to live.

Unfortunately this term is mostly used just for the sake of showing how much aware we are. We simply condemn environmental degradation. We slam every act of polluting. But we mostly take pollution at macro level. We forget to admit how our little actions hit our natural environment and even we don’t know what we are doing against it.

go green now for a healthier life

So we need to bring smaller changes in our way of living and must go green now at individual level to keep our kids safe from all types of pollution hazards. After going green it seems nice to talk vehemently against giant polluters and lethargy of governments to control pollution.

So what if I pollute the environment. Can you stop me?

It’s the 11’o clock in the morning. A person in not-so-good dressing gets down from an almost obsolete vehicle and gets into the factory located in an area with a stinking odor of industrial waste and rubbish.

He gets into the factory after showing his service card to the watchman who reluctantly allows him to go inside. His confidence shows he must have the authority to get into a factory.

He is then taken to a lavishly designed office where a person is sitting and nothing is on his table. He soon after entering the room asks the person sitting on the other side of the table without doing any formalities.

pollute the environment
Well; I am a government official. Can I see any top manager of this factory? 

You can talk to me, I am the owner of this factory.

I want to ask you that do you treat the effluent of your factory before disposing of it?

Treat, what do you mean by treat; is that effluent sick that I should treat it medically?

Poor girl, suffocating hug and bloody indoor pollution

Her name is Saakshi, age 12. She lives in a remote village of Tamil Nadu, India with her parents and a younger brother. Her mother and father love her so much and care for her a lot. She belongs to a social class where nothing is in abundance except love and care.

The poor souls don’t have that much sense to understand simply love and care can’t keep their kids happy. They have faces to smile but don’t have any reason to smile.

They have legs to dance but don’t have any reason to dance. Their only activity in life is to manage two-time meal and continue living in a house coming in same poor condition from their forefathers.

What’s wrong with Saakshi?

Now let’s talk about Saakshi. She is fond of playing outside the home. This is the only way she has to stay away from the suffocation of her home. She has to eat whatever is given to her and drink water without worrying about its quality.

indoor pollution
A few months ago a strange thing happened in their home. Now her father and mother have to love her with care. Now even they can’t express their love to her so warmly; which means now they can’t give anything in abundance to their beloved daughter.

The warm expression of love is prohibited

The reason is; once her mother hugged her in the affection she protested on her mother’s tight hug and asked her not to do this again because she can’t breathe well. This was so worrisome for both mother and father.

They took her to a nearby dispensary where they were shocked to know their beloved daughter is suffering from acute asthma because of inhaling a huge amount of smoke persistently for the last two years. Pediatric asthma rate increased almost 73 percent in an advanced nation like the USA while in the poor region you can well imagine how higher it can be.

Heinous collusion of a troika to protect the polluters in poor countries

Rulers of poor countries are brutally smart.

Also, they are not naive about the harsh realities of this world.

They very well know how to protect their environment but they don’t want to do this.

They can’t afford to swallow the fury of giant industrialists, big corporations, rogue mafias of pollution and above all the vested interests that just want to earn more and more by spending peanuts.

Big polluters are not huge in number but they are so powerful that no government in any poor country can even talk against them.

They can topple the government with their powerful kicks and kickbacks.


They just want the cosmetic type of environmental activities –like fairy tales - which should keep going in poor countries to dupe all; you, me and the rest of the enlightened lot of this world.

Informal but most deadly coalition

They all are not in one forum, in a club or in a league to jointly pollute the environment of poor countries. They are dispersed in all poor countries of Asia, Africa and other poor regions of the world. Their vested interests are the same that’s why there is nothing uncommon in them. They adopt the same tactics to crush every attempt that means to protect the environment.

pollution in poor countries
They know that if a green effort is made, it will be a direct hit on their financial, political and social interests. They have to install a treatment plant in their factory and pay the extra cost.


How to poetically raise environmental awareness and knock down pollution?

Sometimes a piece of poetry becomes more effective than a piece of prose to communicate a message.

Several stanzas have still proverbial value though they were created centuries ago. Still, people quote the poetry of Shakespeare and many even don’t know the name of the poet of the verses to who they are referring.

This is a strength of poetic words. You can speak more with lesser words. So this medium of literature can also be used to raise environmental awareness.

How do we enjoy poetry?

We read poetry in books, magazines, listen to it on TV, Radio, video channels, and enjoy it. We just need the poems according to our literary tastes. If we believe in love and just love we like
environmental awareness with poetry
romantic poetry. If we have revolutionary ideas we want poems that advocate for change, justice, and equality among human beings. If we firmly believe in the relationship we give huge applause to verses that focus on different types of relations.
