Do not Origin Select Products labeled “Green”
Since the issue of global warming global warming, aka sprung up, all so talkative. I wish the all green. Apparently this phenomenon “captured” by the developers of housing and a variety of manufacturers. Be the first housing and a lot of new products, which he specialized in green. Hoping to boost sales. How ya we should address this phenomenon?
Coba deh notice of new housing ads, the last few years. The term “green” so dominate. Almost all the housing “confess” green concept environmentally friendly alias. Various manifestations. Starting from the concept of the full opening of the building, meant to give a lot of ventilation, so do not use the AC was still cool house. There are also allocating more than half its land for green open space. Anything else that makes the rule that 20 percent of the land should be used as garden lots.
Sure it was nice to know that the environmental problems that this one got a lot of attention. But what is enough, by stating that a housing or a green label products, meaning the housing or eco-friendly products? Is not there supposed to be the official certification, which states that an area, building, and the product, really environmentally friendly?
Initially I included those who delight over this great attention. But for long, we must critically also. What parameters entrepreneurs, developers, or manufacturers use, to declare their products environmentally friendly? Do not let us, the consumers, trapped by the lure environmentally friendly. Prices of products labeled green it’s not cheap.
Environmentally friendly not only lush with plants. Moreover, should also be energy efficient, water efficient, durable (sustainable), and many more. Not wanting dong, get out a lot of money, hoping to participate in protecting the environment, proved futile. From now on, we need to know more about global warming and efforts to overcome them. In order not easy to get caught with a green label on the market.
In many other countries, each has a right to an official institution a certification “green”. Such certification will be recognized by the whole world, through a network of these institutions. Well, earlier this year, Indonesia had already had such an institution. Green Building Council of Indonesia (GBCI). With this, non-profit institution, we certainly hope there is a “handle” in selecting products environmentally friendly.
We are obliged to take part in saving the earth from global warming. But it still must be cautious and smart. At least not by continuing to increase our knowledge. Agree?
