“Why bother? I won’t have to deal with it” This is the exact mentality we want to avoid. This is our home, and the only one we have. No matter what your outlook is, we can’t just destroy it, not when we have the means to avoid that. We want our kids to be able to enjoy the same environment we had. Going green minimizes pollution and resource/energy consumption so that future generations can live in a clean planet with adequate resources for survival.
