Everyone lives at this point on our only earth. We started our lives here, lived our whole lives here, and will be buried here. Our kids and grandchildren will moreover spend their entire day-to-day lives here on earth. You would assume this would present people with enough of a reason to embrace green living. For the most part, the human race has caused the damage done to our environment, things such as pollution and the opening in the ozone layer. With the continual reminders of this issue in our newsprint and on our television sets, it really is a wonder that nothing important has been done about this before.
