The term “green” is often used to illustrate the level of commitment the person demonstrates towards protecting the environment. In terms of waste disposal, a pro environment friendly person would choose to retain non biodegradable items such as plastic or styrofoam to be reused. In contrast, a non-green person would simply dispose all of his waste materials into general bins rather than into recyclable bins. He may also choose to drive for short distances and use the air conditioning system at his will.
A “green” person would also choose to purchase environmental friendly items such as sprays with the absence of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and batteries which have no mercury. A person who is apathetic towards the environment simply chooses to ignore all of the above and perhaps might request for more plastic bags at shopping malls only to dispose them off upon reaching home.
