Globalization and natural processes have caused many local environmental problems to become international issues, affecting every society. While awareness of these problems is growing due to environmental organizations and individuals, the gap between awareness and active participation remains large. There are two main reasons for this gap: people's busy lifestyles leave little time to learn how to help the environment, and there is a lack of easy, practical suggestions for individuals on specific actions they can take. Providing constructive tips and resources in accessible terms could encourage more individuals, families, and communities to start adopting earth-friendly behaviors in their daily lives.

1. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Our world today is being affected by a large variety of environmental problems. Globalization has managed to
successfully connect people from different countries but this along with the earth's natural processes has also
managed to convert many small local problems into international issues. As such, today there is not a single society
that is not being affected by the consequences of these environmental problems.
However, due to the untiring efforts of many institutions and individuals, there has also been growing awareness of
these problems. There is a strong desire in an ever-growing number of people to contribute towards the
environmental movement and in the movement to make the earth green. Despite this, the gap between the number of
people who are aware of the environmental issues and the number of people actively doing something about it in
their lives is enormous.
There are two main causes for this - a busy lifestyle that makes it very difficult for an individual to take time out and
keep himself informed of the ways in which he could be helping to make the earth green. The second cause relates to
the lack of easy-to-find and easy-to-follow practical suggestions that an individual can use. Small wonder then, that
even well-meaning, environment friendly citizens of the world are not sure, as to how they could make any
contribution towards protecting the environment.
Our world and our lives are getting increasingly busy these days and when it comes to managing that balance
between work life and home life, it is not surprising that even a true eco-minded person will not be able to follow
through on many environment friendly actions. Information about the significant role that each person has to play
when it comes to making the earth green or what kind of earth-friendly solutions one can adopt is not easily available.
And even when it is available, it is always in the terms of more abstract solutions rather than a set of simple steps that
an individual or family or even a community can follow.
Let's make a more diligent attempt to make it easier for people to take earth-friendly steps in their everyday lives.
While there are many books written about the environment, its problems and possible solutions, there are not many
that suggest practical doable solutions to individuals or families. We need to motivate environment conscious people
to actually start practicing green living. With the help of constructive tips and topical resources, we may encourage
individuals, families and communities to start taking earth-friendly steps.
. So if you have been an environment enthusiast but have not followed through on your good intentions because you
did not have the time, or thought it was too difficult or simply because you did not know how, here is a fresh chance to
get motivated about helping our environment, our fellow man, and ourselves!
