What is green?
Green is the color of nature, of growth. In color therapy, green affects the heart chakra. It calms and balances the nervous system, hence is good for people suffering from depression, anxiety, and nervousness. *Ever heard that green is good for our eyes? Do you know why? Tell me if you do, ’cause I simply don’t. lol* But I do know that green is good for our health, our society, and our planet, Earth. Green is our favorite color.
If now isn’t the time to talk green, when is? Global warming, air pollution, land wastes are only few of the long list of existing human-caused environmental issues. It affects not just our personal well-being, but on a much larger scale, the whole planet. This affects every single one of us. And it takes the effort of every single individual to fix it.
How can we act and live green?
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.
Plenty of ways to achieve that. The most basic is by changing the little details in our lifestyle. Reduce the use of plastic bags when we checkout at Wal-Mart. Reuse plastic utensils when we order chinese food to-go. Recycle papers, cans, bottles, magazines, print cartridges by packing them separately and bringing them to designated collection venues. (ref. Eco Tips for Individuals)
Zooming out from individuals, we have companies and organizations that are evolving towards eco-friendly products and operations. Check out the Green Plug™:
Green Plug is a highly efficient power adapter hub that is able to simultaneously power multiple devices, each with its own energy demand. Billions of devices including laptops, printers, speakers, routers, modems, cell phones, entertainment devices, power tools, cameras and many other portable electronic devices require a power source that converts between 90V and 254V wall power to device-specific DC power. This translates to the fact that most devices require unique power converters – a very costly, extremely inconvenient, and principal contributor to wasted resources not to mention electronics landfill pile-up. Green Plug technology maximizes resources, minimizes solid waste from obsolete chargers, and eliminates wasted energy. When devices collaborate with power supplies, an unprecedented amount of monitoring, control, and optimization becomes possible. (via Inhabitat)
The Green Plug™ was also featured at CES 2008. If now isn’t the time to talk green, when is?
