― Albert Einstein.
When one talks about going green or thinking green, what are the few things that strike your head?
Going green is surely all about change, but it's not about changing the society, it's about bringing a change at a personal level. It's about changing your thought process. Going green is about being proactive, aware and really hands on!
The question is, can you stop being lazy and change? Honestly, It seems a little difficult, but I believe you can....
Want to go green, but don’t know where to start? Well, every little bit helps, so here are the top 10 easy ways to go green ASAP. Here are a few ideas, you know them, but it's just to remind you, if you know something then why not complete the cycle and apply that knowledge!
1- Unplug appliances & battery chargers while not in use.(I did unplug mine)
2- Use compact fluorescent light bulbs.
3- Ride a bike or take public transportation, if you must drive think about car pooling! Get those walking shoes out! Walk that mile, save some fuel.
5- Apply for electronic bills! Save paper!
6- Conserve water by turning off that tap while you brush your teeth.(Keep this in mind)
7- Use natural cleaning products.
8- Stop using disposable stuff like diapers, napkins, plates, cups, razors, etc.
9- Recycle things like glass, plastics, newspapers, etc.

In Addition to these, my fellow entrepreuners and innovators, think about utilising Renewable Energy aka Green Energy! Go solar!
Be aware of your Carbon Footprint! Carbon footprint is the total set of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions caused by an organization, event, product or person.
Here's a Carbon Footprint calculator...go find out yours NOW!
Give thought to a very interesting concept of Green conventions or green meetings. They are conventions which are conducted in ways which minimize the environmental burdens imposed by activities. Green event planners apply environmentally preferred practices to waste management, resource and energy use, travel and local transportation, facilities selection, siting and construction, food provision and disposal, hotels and accommodations, and management and purchasing decisions. The practice is knows as "event greening" or "sustainable event management".

Three R's that will surely get you far in your new GREEN GOAL,
Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.
“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”
― Leo Tolstoy“And that is how change happens. One gesture. One person. One moment at a time.”
