In a who’s who world where who can build the fastest car or who can produce the trendiest clothes often takes centre stage, there is a creeping threat to our planet and its fragile ecosystems that we often overlook: Pollution. If you’ve heard of Youtuber Mr Beast’s massively popular #TeamTrees and #TeamSeas campaigns, you’ll know that preserving our environment is becoming a pretty huge global concern. But why is pollution so damaging in the first place, and how can we help?

You’ve probably noticed the words, ‘eco-friendly’, and ‘going green’ becoming more and more common; schools are teaching children about environmental issues as early as grades four or five. But why is environmental education actually important?

The word, “Sustainability,” often sprouts in conversations surrounding business practices or macro-level ‘green policies’ — but the concept of preserving resources for a better world doesn’t only encompass corporate accountability. While we at Cycle Trends are helping more industries adopt eco-friendly procedures, we believe everyone can play a role in ‘going green’ by building habits within our own homes.

Going Green doesn’t mean depriving yourself of the simple joys in life. It is not about sitting in the darkness to save energy, or not throwing anything out because you are feeling guilty about creating more trash.

You might remember that I had the chance to go to the OKU job fair this time last year. I’m happy to report that the three OKU employees we hired have managed to integrate perfectly into the working world, taking to their new roles with enthusiasm.

The phrase “Going Green” might sound intimidating to some, and it’s easy to understand why. In many cases, it is used to refer to large-scale, corporate effort to be more eco-friendly. Even so though, it can be quite easy for even a small household to go green.
