Make The Environment Better.


In one of the Ebony Magazines, Van Jones wrote:

"Some how we bought into the thought that it was a hippie thing. It was really our commitment to be good stewards of the Earth. Our great grandmother's values are coming into vogue. We should be leading the charge on fighting against pollution and poison. These are not White values. These are universal values."

Black folks should go green because healthy environments effect their life, their family, their pocketbook and their community. Neighborhoods are serving as dumping toxic waste. It shows that the average Black resident of a major city lives in a more polluted part of town than a White person. These are the neighborhoods where children play and develop such disorders such as autism, asthma, or cancer. This should be the time and place where everyone starts doing everything they can to control this pollution and make it go away somehow.

Many people have transformed their lives by making their world cleaner and a greener place. There are many ways that we can make the world safer, conserve energy, and save money. We just need to work together as one to make this change happen before it is too late.
