We are living in a world that is so caught up in consumerism and the concept of "me," that new environmental problems are constantly at risk. People get the mind set that that they can do whatever they want when they are through with products because they personally won't be dealing with it anymore--it's another person's problem. The truth, however, is that the decisions of every American are directly correlated with how the environment responds back.
A breakthrough system that has continued to show success and draw more and more people in is the slogan "Think Green." People involved with the system are trying to draw in others to do easy daily tasks which can help save the environment. By recycling bottle, cans, cardboard, newspaper, etc we as individuals are refusing to let these reusable sources to sit and accumulate in a garbage dump. Recycling is only a fraction of the various things people can do to take action though. There are now electricity and water saving appliances and vehicles that have struck the eye of many Americans.
Each person can contribute a lot to the "Think Green" process, but converting cities, college universities, and other highly populated areas would be extravagant. The wastes created by the population has caused damaged to the environment, that it would be great to see everyone help to restore it.

I completely agree with your "go green" ideas. I think that it is extremely important for our country to take care of the resources we have been given. Recycling is the first step in "going green." We should make every effort possible to recycle and conserve energy and resources in every way possible.
Yeah man, i think going "green" is solid. I believe that Germany is right now dominating the world with its "go green" ways. I read in a Time Magazine article that some German communities are using solar power as a primary source to run their houses. They have enough energy to supply 10,000+ residents, and in some areas the residents have such a surplus of energy that they are selling it to others. Making a profit off of "going green" sounds pretty good. Germany is on the right track and I see the U.S. following them soon.
I think going green is an amazingly simple concept. The enviornment is in crisis just like the nation's economy and the populaiton's attention should be on their health and lifestyle along with how much it costs to live that lifestyle. I'm looking forward to future information on the process of the nation going "green".
O Bro, the use of solar energy is highly efficient. It's an inexhaustable source that can be converted into many of the sources of energy we use in our everyday lives. The only problem is funding to create facilities to harvest that energy. But like you said, the US is on its way.
