I sometimes discuse various useful topics in my facebook profile. It’s interesting to talk this issue with the right people such as my friends (some of them are researchers) and my lecturer in environment engineering. A few days ago, my lecturer said that the main goal of green concept is “pollution prevention” instead of “waste treatment”
Well, I’m surprised with this info. Because before knowing this main goal, I thought that green concept’s goal was only about creating a green living, whatever it is. After reading his explanation, it’s reasonable now. As you know, waste treatment is done in order to prevent the pollution, isn’t it? So it becomes a second mission from green concept.
Based on this main goal, “pollution prevention”, our duty now as a human being is to decrease a usage of goods or life style that will cause more pollutions. For example, in our house (for small scale example), it’s better not to use AC rather than use AC even an eco-friendly one. This concept invites and educates people to rack brains such as to open the house window frequently instead of pressing the AC’s remote or control the temperature for more comfort number (like 25 C degree on the remote). What do you think about it?
