<p><span style="color: #478847;"><strong>Green </strong>is a broad term that means so many things to different people. There is a common misconception that relates it to the political left-wing, such as the green party or the environment. Here is a list of <a title="Green Values" href="http://www.greenparty.ca/en/about_us/green_values" target="_blank">green values</a>, it&#8217;s very close to mine. Note that the green party is one of very few political parties that is truly global &#8211; that has to tell you something about the importance and common attributes we all have.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #478847;"> While there is certainly a portion of the population that leans this way, there are other aspects of being green. Most people indirectly make conscious green choices. Most of us have a little or a lot of green</span> <span style="color: #478847;">in our blood. So what does green involve? The following 7 key areas contribute to making life </span><span style="color: #478847;">green:</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #478847;">1. Conservation of the eco-system and all things that support life (NATURE)<br />
2. Responsible economy, saving &amp; reduced consumption (SUSTAINABLE)<br />
3. Support for your local communities (COMMUNITY)<br />
4. Respect of culture, freedom of choice, diversity &amp; acceptance (RESPECT)<br />
5. Peaceful, passive resolve for all conflict and humanitarian issues (HUMANITY)<br />
6. Contribution to the betterment of something one cares about (CHARITY)<br />
7. Healthy lifestyle and living environment (HEALTH)</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #478847;">There is overlap and most people in the world care about all aspects in some respect. There are varying degrees and beliefs when it comes to integration of the above principles but what is important is that the end result is a kinder, cleaner, safer, better world. Something we all want.</span><strong>if you liked this post, take a gander at these ones</strong>
