Tynisha Handley

     In this first written analysis, I reviewed the popular culture topic of living green. Living green refers to our efforts at living a healthier life. Going green has been an evolving component of popular culture for many years. However, in recent years, millions of Americans have made strides towards achieving this concept of healthy living. Followers of this concept believe it is prudent that we live resourcefully today without compromising the environment around us. This includes conserving energy, reserving water, recycling, and growing our own garden. These are just to name a few ways we can participate in the green movement.

     The dailygreen website (http://www.thedailygreen.com/) is the consumer’s guide to the green revolution. Here you will find a variety of topics, such as information concerning fuel efficiency, natural health foods, and energy efficiency. The efforts of living green are in the forefront of popular culture. This concept of living is shared my millions of people worldwide. Those who choose to live green do so for obvious reasons whether personal or emotion. This represents their taste culture. Additionally, education also plays a role here. The followers of this revolution possess the knowledge, tools, and resources of why it is beneficial and how to go about making positive changes. In the green movement, one seeks to live a healthier, more sustainable life. Meaning, taking care of the world around us so that future generations may enjoy it as we do today.

     Public awareness has increased as relates to our destructive behaviors and solutions are being sought. Going green being a common one. Our lifestyle choices, most of which I thought were insignificant, in fact cause a great deal of harm to our environment. This is why many have chosen to buy only organic foods, use green household cleaning products and personal care products. Damage to our environment is inevitable, but we can make positive changes, even the smallest of change, to do our part in saving our Earth.
