How to Become a Green Person?

Trees in the forest

I’m sure that many of you have already heard about green living and you like the idea, but you don’t really know what this mean and how to become a true green person.

Learn to become a protector of the environment

Being a green person has nothing to do with movie characters like Hulk or the Green lantern guy.

Being green is actually a necessity these days because our planet is suffering due to our reckless actions against the environment.

The climate has been changed, and now the weather patterns are no longer making a clear distinction between one season the next. This way, beside extremely hot temperatures during the summer, our civilization faces extreme drought (which kills crops), floods, and extreme weather conditions (tornadoes), in areas where we never had tornadoes before.

We also need to protect and preserve the environment for the future generations as the previous generations did for us.

Because nature is not in good shape these days, we need to slowly learn how to become a green person or an environmentally friendly person.

A green person has great respect for planet Earth

A green person is a person who resonates with nature and understands its needs.

Our planet does need much, it only needs to be respected by us the humans.

Animals have a great respect for the environment, actually they are even a part of nature from birth to death.

People instead, manage to harm the environment every day without knowing that their actions have a great impact on us all.

Traveling in many countries across the globe, I saw that most civilized countries have more respect for nature.

I’m not talking here about industrial pollution, I’m talking about the person.

Education can teach people how important is the environment for us

A more educated person will respect the environment more due to its education and due to the capacity of deeper understanding the importance of the living environment.

Economically speaking, it’s obvious that a more advanced country will pollute more because it has a more developed industry.

They also have the ability to invest and use more quick any renewable energy that proves itself more efficient than the regular energy produced with polluting resources.

Returning to our purpose, of teach you how to become a greener person you need to know that there are only a few actions that must be done (or must be corrected if they were used differently in the past).

Tips to become a Green Person

  • A green person always recycles because it knows that plastic is not biodegradable in nature. Recycling plastic, glass and paper can also save the trees from being cut, so it saves the environment.
  • Always use wind to dry your clothes. We live in a pretty polluted area here, but even so, if we dry our clothes outside in nature they dry pretty quickly and they also have a very good and fresh smell after that.
  • If you live in a house and you have the possibility to use solar panels or a windmill, just install them and you will save the environment and your pocket as well.
  • Make savings by using LED light bulbs in the house and outside if needed, and don’t forget to turn the lights off in the room where nobody stays. Especially if you have small kids, don’t forget to turn off lights and the TV after them if they move to another room. This action will save both the environment and your pocket.
  • If you have the possibility, try to live in a house made of natural materials like wood or try the following experience.

In the summer of 2013, we tried to live a few weeks outside in nature, actually in our backyard using a tent.

Sleeping outside

Sleeping and cooking outside in nature was an awesome experience. Food prepared outside in nature is more tasty, and after a day entirely spent outside, we slept like babies. We used the house only for the bathroom and for showers. In that period of time our electricity consumption went down by 90% so we paid a very small electricity bill.

Living outside and using nature to satisfy your needs is a very strong experience practically it reconnects you with the environment.
