Since the issue of global warming or better known as the global warning is widely discussed, both at the international and local levels, environmental awareness has drastically become an important point in human life. Suddenly the Go Green movement became so popular and moved in unison in almost all corners of the world. So, the question here. *What exactly is Go Green?*

![pxud21v6c6.jpg](https://img.esteem.ws/pxud21v6c6.jpg)

It must be understood, that in every aspect of our lives we need to be filled with environmental care movements, ranging from the arrangement of homes or offices that are environmentally friendly, to corporate policies that label themselves with Go Green banners that are prominently installed in a number of offices and event activities. In fact, in the past few decades, not many parties cared about this issue. If anything, it is dominated by local and international NGOs.

Various methods are also carried out, in order to reduce the burden that must be borne by the earth, as a result of the use of technologies that are not environmentally friendly. It is common knowledge, how every year the rate of deforestation is always increasing, so that the total forest cover as a buffer for ecosystem sustainability is disrupted, resulting in climate change, and natural disasters, such as floods and landslides. Not to mention, gas emissions from motor vehicles, households and factories contribute to making the Earth hotter.

In general, global warming or better known as global warming is the process of increasing the average temperature of the atmosphere, sea and land of the Earth. The main cause of global warming is an increase in the greenhouse effect that occurs on earth. So it's not surprising, if only in a matter of years, changes in temperature on Earth climbed dramatically. This is indicated by the increasing amount of ice cover in the north and south poles, due to the loss of ice in the region.

However, in recent years, the greenhouse effect has increased significantly, and resulted in global warming, namely the increase in the surface temperature of the Earth and resulting in extreme climate change.
In addition it can result in disruption of forests and other ecosystems, thereby reducing the ability to absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere.

If global warming is not immediately addressed it will cause a greater impact, namely the loss of the islands that result in changes in the face of our world map.
If this condition is allowed to continue, it is likely that future generations will suffer the most consequences.

Then, they can only hear the legend about natural wonders that they cannot enjoy. Starting with awareness, some scientists in the world are working hard to reduce the impact of global warming, one of which is by campaigning on the go green movement.

Put simply, Go Green is propaganda that is commonly used in environmental care campaigns, or can also be said as a 'back to basic' environmental awareness movement. Porpaganda has various purposes, including increasing awareness of the environment.

In fact, this movement is not just a moral movement in building awareness of the environment, but is a tactical movement and strategy to anticipate climate change in the present, and future. In short, this movement is about an era of tactical concrete renewal of thoughts and actions to integrate life.

Now, humans are no longer bounded by geographical barriers, and national borders in building a communal awareness. It cannot be denied, educated humans living on Earth are beginning to realize the importance of the concept of sustainable development. That is the paradigm that is seen from the snowball phenomenon 'environmental revolution' today.

Although at the ideological level, everyone believes in the preservation of nature. Derived questions that arise are how to actualize it in everyday life
So, it's not wrong if Go Green is the most expensive gift we can give to our children and grandchildren. The concept of Go Green or returning to nature by taking into account environmental conditions, has a huge effect on the success of reducing the threat of global warming.

Systematically there are some standard principles that have become a kind of reference in the Go Green movement throughout the world. This principle is summarized in a symbol that is easy to remember, namely "4R". The "4R" that we can apply in our daily lives to minimize residuals or final results is:

▪*Reduce* or what we can call by reducing is our effort in life to reduce the goods or materials that we normally use. Because by minimizing this it can reduce the waste it generates.

▪*Reuse* or reuse that is by buying items that can be reused or non-disposable items. The development of an increasingly advanced era of creating disposable goods to lighten our work, but the resulting impact is very dangerous, because it will cause accumulation of waste from these goods.

▪*Recycle*, which is recycling, there are now many ways to be able to make use of waste into valuable recycled goods, this way we can reduce waste and make it a valuable item.

▪*Replace* that we can interpret by replacing that is trying to replace items that damage the environment with goods that are environmentally friendly, so that these items if they become garbage can be degraded naturally.

With these 4 principles, we all hope that the burden that must be borne by the Earth can be reduced, or at least the amount of waste the end result does not increase dramatically. Therefore, let us culture and carry out the green movement, becoming part of our lifestyle. Because there is no most significant effort, except starting from yourself. That is why saving the environment most effectively starts from small things.
