Green Fatigue |
|---|
|
When I was finishing off the last spoon of my strawberry-peanut butter jelly, for a brief second, I was in conflict whether to drop the jar in a garbage bin rather than to soak it in hot water, then throw it in a recycled bin outside the building. The idea of one relapse would be okay creeps into me...only once!
According to the recent articles and survey from the U.S.,U.K and Australia, many ordinary citizens are so overwhelmed by the environment related informations and issues, bombarded by mass-media they are getting back to the non-environmental friendly old living life. Individuals get to feel that whatever they do, their actions are never enough to face the enormity of global environmental issues. The business owners are admitting the eco-green label things are so tiring. Even the public figures are being mocked of their green life style-recently, the Prince of Wales is mocked by telling the public his eco-freidly life style. Experts are concerned because people tend to walk away from the problems that are too difficult to solve and too complex to understand. Environmental experts are saying that best way to fight 'green fatigue' is documenting progress in a small and local scale. Then, publishing the specific success rates on the media. I think what our friends at eco-gen are doing is the best example of fighting off the 'green -fatigue'. Reporting the small success in a local scale. I hope our work in eco-gen will inspire many youths in Asia to fight back the 'green -fatigue'. sources: Newsweek, The Independent, The Sydney Morning Herald. image: Downloaded from the google image section |
