For centuries, the issue of global warming has been a major concern for citizens of all cultures. Many suggest that becoming environmentally aware is the solution to preventing constant climate change in our environment. However, people relentlessly dismiss the issue by being casual and thoughtless. Furthermore, the move to green has generated intense controversy. Some firmly believe that their individual contribution to society is useless, while others firmly maintain that becoming ecologically aware helps prevent possible changes in the atmosphere, caused by global warming. Certainly, by going green, we can save energy, reduce health risks and improve economic efficiency; therefore, decreasing our global adversities. One argument for going green is that it prevents climate change through energy conservation. “Convincing consumers to save energy has been no easy task” (Henion II, 1981). Our planet undergoes anomalous changes due to excessive consumption of energy and water by the individual. Humans have the right to use minimal levels of these resources. If they exceed their quantity, the side effects can be dangerous. Ultimately, excessive use of energy and water causes an increase in temperature; thereby, influencing the human race. Additionally, when temperatures begin to rise, it can be extremely dangerous for many species. Furthermore, the temperature could increase to the point where it becomes too hot to host any type of living thing. It is often said that due to global warming, extreme heat waves could hit many states during the summer. “The direct effects of heat already cause a considerable number of deaths among vulnerable people in summer. Air conditioning has reduced them... to the center of the paper... the lack of concern among human beings. Works Cited Crinnion, (Waldorf) W. (2010).
