Editorial: Unexpected help
Some of the many problems of the world today are environmental problems. Not only problems on land but also in the air and in the ocean. It doesn’t take much to know the main cause of the problem: humans.
Humans have destroyed much of the habitats that many animals used to live in.
Also there are ozone wholes that are human caused.
Because of all the harm done, the last few generations have been considered the worst caretakers of the environment. But this generation is a lot less ignorant about the harm and dangers to the environment. Many people have also raised awareness through protesting and getting all the facts out there.
Thanks to the environmentally conscious companies that defend animal rights, such as PETA, who raise awareness to the damage humans are doing to animals and their environments, this generation is now slowing and decreasing the damage done to the planet.
Companies make products that are in demand by the public so they are not far behind on this new environmentally conscious trend.
Before, having hair glued down with hairspray was what was in. Now having hairspray that doesn’t harm the ozone layer is the new thing. Hairspray companies aren’t the only companies that have come up with “green” products.
It is not uncommon to see labels on tuna cans that inform the public that they don’t catch dolphins with their fishing nets.
Many makeup companies also promote their products by saying that they don’t test on animals. Many other companies have come up with new, creative and eco friendly products such as air fresheners, and bathroom and kitchen cleaners. Car companies, who have come up with electric cars, haven’t fallen behind on the new trend.
These are a few of the products that companies now offer for the environmentally conscious consumer.
Thanks to companies who are making an effort to help out, and who are doing a better job of supplying the public with “green” products, consumers have more opportunities to help slow the effects of global warming.
