"Green" person versus "Non-green" person

“Green” is a term often used to describe a person who is deeply concerned about environmental issues. Compared to a “non-green” person, a “green” person is more conscious about energy consumption in daily life. For instance, a “green” person will switch off the television when no one is watching a particular programme. However, a “non-green” person will be more likely to turn on the television out of habit. In addition, a “green” person always tries to use natural sources of power, such as drying the clothes on a clothesline, making use of the sun and wind power instead of using a dryer. In contrast, a “non-green” person would prefer to use a washing machine to clean the dishes rather than washing them by hands. It should be noted that washing machine consumes a lot of electricity when it is operating.

Apart from this, a “green” person always tries to reduce the use of non-recyclable materials whereas a “non-green” person usually uses resources to extent that causes wastage. This example will suffice: a “green” person will usually bring his own carrier bag when goes shopping to reduce the use of plastic bags. If the use of plastic bags is unavoidable, a “green” person will usually reuse the plastic bags. On the other hand, a “non-green” person will often ignore these methods of conservation. For example, he is not aware of the importance of recycling. As a conclusion, the supreme behavior of a “green” person should be instilled in the whole society to minimize the consumption of depleted resources.
