Green Living means Green Power

Green Living has become more of a necessity today than when it was an emerging celebrity trend not too long ago.

More corporations are shifting their sights to ‘eco-friendly’ products and services to fill the ever-growing consumer want to ‘live green’.

One such company is Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx) located at 890 Garrison Avenue in the Bronx, NY. This company provides a multitude of services that benefit a 'Green Lifestyle’. The company was founded in August 2001 and has crossed, advocated and won awards in it’s mission to help save the planet and it’s inhabitants.
They have created a variety of programs, policies, employment and material to help educate and advance the lives of individuals who believe in taking care of our planet.

Here is but a small list of what they offer:
  •     Community council for education
  •     Youth Development - LIFT
  •     Vocation training
  •     Green Technology
  •     Advocacy programs such as ‘Green Equity’ and ‘The Solid Waste Program’
  •     FabLab
  •     Toxic Tours
  •     Green The Ghetto
  •     SmartRoofs LLC
  •     BEST Academy
Their relentless work has brought them numerous honors and awards every year they’ve been active.

Our planet Earth is our home and it is the responsibility of every human to keep it clean and keep it alive. It can no longer continue to thrive in our method of taking and not returning to the Earth. We are currently starting to see the results of this abuse by the number of life-threatening storms and natural disasters happening around the world.
Earth was also meant to be our classroom where we learn and grow. It is essential to try to bring it back, at least close, to the natural splendor it once was.

I recently saw on television a program featuring a chinese scientist discussing his vision of people living under the Earth, in the ground. He was proposing ways of how we could grow trees and grass underground and use artificial lighting which resembles the sun as much as possible.

There have been past movies made of this concept and to actually see someone seriously considering this step does not follow the original concept of how we are to live on this planet.

It is better to restore the air and beauty of above ground before even thinking of moving underground to live.

Live a green lifestyle can certainly help in restoring our home and making life worth living again.
