Write an essay of 200 – 250 words about the advantages and disadvantages of a green lifestyle.

It is somewhat challenging to know how our tiniest actions affect our environment, such
as just turning on and off the light switch or maybe just opening the water tap. What if one day
you forgot to turn off the lights or your air conditioner when you're off for school? One thing for
sure is that you have wasted a lot of energy at that time along with wasting electricity, which
means large quantities of fossil fuels have been burning up. However, this problem could be
solved or at least reduced if we start living a green lifestyle.
A green lifestyle is any action or activity that results in a positive impact, to any degree,
on the environment so that the planet can continue to support future generations. The practice of
green living minimizes or eliminates toxins (poisons) from our environment furthermore reduces
and excludes purely destructive habits. The goal and purpose of green living are to preserve and
improve the health of planet Earth for all.
When living a green lifestyle, you can save energy which also reduces your monthly
electricity bill. Since the nationwide initiative began in 1987, the makeshift of standard
appliances and light bulbs with energy-efficient ones has kept 2.3 billion tons of carbon dioxide
from polluting our air. Using energy-saving appliances and LED light bulbs in the home can also
cut up to 30 percent off our annual electricity bill.
In addition, as many peoples change into a green lifestyle can make a significant change
to the environment as there will be less air pollution, less smog, or even help curb climate
change. One way individuals can help to combat climate change is to reduce our energy
consumption. Research shows that switching to energy-efficient could help to reduce carbon
emissions by up to 19 percent.
Eventually, We can't avoid drawbacks when you're switching to a green lifestyle. Firstly,
you'll need a high level of motivation if you want to keep that way of life for a long time,
especially when organic products are likely to be more expensive than the traditional ones due to
the freshness of the food. Secondly, some kinds of vegetables like potato, tomato, etc. are
seasonal, which cause dainty eaters more discomfort in their choice.
Another disadvantage of going green and environmentally friendly is the time factor.
Time consumption is also an issue in terms of the payback rate of certain green living
investments. More than that, this way of life can be time-consuming as long as you should stick
to this lifestyle long enough to see a remarkable change.
In conclusion, the way of living green has copious benefits likewise drawbacks. Green
living is not only about having better health but also living to harmonize with the environment.
Although we can't make everyone live this way as there are many conflicting opinions about this
term. But let's encourage as many people as we can to live a green lifestyle as It helps greener
our planet.
