Sustainable Development – Going Green

What is green and why go green? Green is a philosophy and social concern for the conservation and improvement of environment. Green living is about protecting the environment and behaving ethically. Many companies are starting to look into why they should go green, both on economically profitable and socially standpoint. Going green may reduce companies overhead cost and it will help the companies in the long run. It can also create goodwill for an organization’s reputation and contribute positively to brand health and performance.

How to go green? Companies may start on recycling plan by having various form of disposal. For instance, aluminum, paper, plastic and regular trash should be separated to ensure that they do not mixed together; and recyclable products will not be sent to landfills where they cannot properly decompose. Another way is to reduce printing or by emailing documents rather than printing; unless something absolutely must be on paper. We may also turn off the lights during lunch break. This will not only reduce our bills but also conserve energy.

For me, as one of the consumers I am willing to support a brand who go green. If I am willing to pay more? Yes, I am willing to pay more because going green will lead to more environmental friendly and ecological responsible decision, which can protect our environment and sustain natural resources for current and future generations.

The earth we abuse and the living things we kill will, in the end, take their revenge; for in exploiting their presence we are diminishing our future.” - Marya Mannes
