Could you check my homework? My hometask was write an essay about green living. I don't think that exists only one definition for "green living". This concept includes a lot of points of view and actions which can lead us to go green. In my opinion the green living is related to save our planet and think about what we'll leave to the next generations. I love the quote from the novel "The little prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupery: "When you've finished getting yourself ready in the morning, you must go get the planet ready", it means that we need to take care not only of ourselves, but of what surrounds us too. Everybody knows the earth is in trouble: every day we see new stories about global warming, acid rain, oil spills, deforestation, or nuclear waste. I think that's why people decide to live ethically. They understand that the choices we make affect not just us, but everybody everywhere; not just today, but the future; when we talk about "saving the planet" we are actually talking about saving ourselves! That's because we all need: clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, safe, healthy food to eat and safe places to live. "Going green" starts with small, simple actions that then will lead us to healthier, happier lives. I think that being an ethical man helps to reduce our impact on environment. As for me I think, that being an ethical man includes don't throw the trash in public places, take care of water (we can use showers, not baths; don't run water unnecessarily for washing, shaving, or brushing our teeth); eat less meat and instead fill our diet with organically-grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts; try to give up the car and use bikes, skateboards or public transport and change the light bulbs to energy-saving bulbs, for example. I think that people who live ethically have their own mantra - "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" - shortly we should Reduce our needs, Reuse the resources and Recycle with buying things that can be recycled. We have only one planet to live on. If we do these simple actions, we'll be able to help oup planet and continue to live on it.

My homework was to write an essay about green living.

I don't think there is only one definition for "green living". The concept includes many opinions and actions which can lead us to go green. In my opinion, green living means saving our planet and thinking about what we'll leave to posterity. I love the quote from the novel "The little prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupery: "When you've finished getting yourself ready in the morning, you must go get the planet ready". It means that we need to take care not only of ourselves, but of what surrounds us, too.

Everybody knows the earth is in trouble: every day we see news stories about global warming, acid rain, oil spills, deforestation, or nuclear waste. I think that's why some of us decide to live ethically. We understand that the choices we make affect not just ourselves but everybody, everywhere, not just today but the future. When we talk about "saving the planet" we are really talking about saving ourselves! That's because we all need: clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, safe, healthy food to eat and a safe place to live.

"Going green" starts with small, simple actions that will then lead us to healthier, happier lives. I think that being ethical helps to reduce our impact on the environment. As for me, I think that being ethical includes: no dumping; conserving water (use showers, not baths; don't overly run water for washing, shaving, or brushing our teeth); eat less meat and instead fill our diet with organically-grown fruits, vegetables, and nuts; try to give up the car and use bikes, skateboards or public transport and change the light bulbs to energy-saving bulbs, for example. I think that people who live ethically have their own mantra - "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" - in short - we should Reduce our needs, Reuse resources and Recycle by buying things that can be recycled.

We have only one planet to live on. If we do these simple actions, we'll be able to help our planet and continue to live on it.

Very well written!
