I have always been a little pessimistic about the whole idea of "one person changing the world" type of thing. I never truly believed in it because the world is just too big of a place for one little person to really make a difference. But after a few weeks of reusing every thing I own and recycling everything I can, I have began to persuade my friends to do the same thing and they are actually starting to catch on to this new wacky idea of being environmentally friendly. And what I have started to realize is that this notion of "being green" is becoming the cool thing to do. Everyone seems to be drawn to the more eco-friendly goods and services and there is starting to be some competition between big time businesses and corporations about who can provide people with more green options. At this rate, going green will eventally be the norm and the people who don't do it would just be plain weird. Getting the majority to buy into recycling and reusing our resources has long been a goal and it is starting to become a possibility. This is great news not only for us, but more so for future generations. The drive to reuse our resources is becoming a nation-wide concept and becoming green is the new fad that is totally in right now.
With this project, I have become a part of this revolution and because of that, I have become optimistic that the world is indeed starting to change and hopefully will remain on the right direction. No longer is it an issue to have only one person do something new and exciting in an attempt to make the world a better place to live in. Maybe it started out as some outlandish idea that some person came up with. But it has become a phenomenon that is beginning to take the world by storm and it seems like everyone wants to get on board be part of this green movement. As long as being green continues to be the hot new sh......stuff, I believe that people will hang onto this idea simply for the fact that not only is it easy being green, but totally awesome to be as well.
