The Movement for Clean Energy

In the article, “It’s Little Easier Being Green; Consumers and companies giving alternative energy a boost with ‘green tags’”, the author talked about the green-tag movement that tries to stop global warming. We can buy a “green tag”, which is designed to offset carbon emission, and then the companies that sold the decals to us pool money to invest for clean energy production. Many famous companies such as Starbucks and Whole Foods got green tags. This is because they try to attract green-tag customers.

Of course, we can take advantage of it as an individual. They believe that the green tag will save the Earth.
Companies will encourage the movement, we all should be involved in the campaign and we have to look for the solutions against the problems they have.

First, Companies, especially factories, should do something for the environment. This is because they emit quite much carbon dioxide, so they should get green certificates. In fact, car factories spew carbon emissions during their production process. Moreover, the cars, which are their product, also release the harmful gas. Therefore, they should work on the serious issue with green-tag activity.

Next, we also have to take part in the movement not only from the business view but also as individuals. This is because we are the people on Earth, so we must take care of our planet. What we can do, for example, is also to buy green-tag and invest these charity businesses indirectly. Further, we need to let people who do not know it yet understand its importance. Although Western countries already practice it, there are few people to do it in Eastern culture. So, we can join the movement.with the tickets that are the way to a clean energy future.

Third, however, we have to overcome some problems. When something new comes, it often faces difficulty. In fact, there are not enough clean energy farms in the world to keep making a lot of electricity. Moreover, charity companies also do not have enough money to build them. Actually, they might be able to collect the fund in the future. To realize this, we should consider it and find out the way to make alternative energy resource.

The business should be done with environmental issues. Our life is also should be led with it. Therefore, companies should support the charity business, we should try to join green-tag movement, and we should solve the problems through the non-profit business. Now, we cannot live without electricity; of course, business does no work. Consequently, the time will come to change our lifestyle.
