THE GO GREEN MOVEMENT

                                       BY Ravin Chandra

With the advancement of time, we experience swifter and safer journeys, new technology, comforts and luxuries of yesterday transforming to today’s necessities etc... But are we missing something in this rapid development drive? I think we do. I honestly believe it’s important to pursue with the idea of ‘sustainable development’; not forgetting the comforts of nature and its gifts in the form of flora and fauna.

We, humans have been gifted with a green and pure environment, with which we stay healthy and fit. If we analyze, we will find that, Global Warming poses many health problems. We must mingle with nature and must protect it; by this I never mean we should be cavemen and live in a jungle. Even if one lives in the 100^th floor, he/she can still have a green thumb.

This surge of technological advancement demands a basic need for the operation of machines, lighting the buildings, powering transportation etc... Yes! We need Energy. More specifically, ‘Green Energy’ is what we need, in this era.

I think it might be wiser, if I put forward the concept of Green Energy with the help of a movement, shortly opening its services. While browsing the internet about Green Energy, I came across The Go Green Movement   , an initiative by Mr. Marc Jones. I contacted Mr. Jones, who was glad to share with me, the implication of his work.

MARC JONES SPEAKS ABOUT HIS INITIATIVE.....

The Green Vision Plan

 The Go Green Movement is a non-profit organization on a mission to help...

 Save our world by doing everything in our power to reverse the effects of global warming, to prevent future and expose current man-made pollutions, to preserve life on our planet, and the life of our planet as well. 

 Educate the world, while being educated by the world on how we can build a smarter, cleaner, and greener tomorrow together. 

 Evolutionize the green industry into The Peoples Industry by assisting our members with creating green jobs for themselves and others; thereby helping to solve our energy crisis and other environmental problems, while providing job opportunities for everyday people. And last but not least...

 Revitalize the only city in the world that's currently capable of serving as the hub of The Peoples Industry, Detroit Michigan.

                                 The Stage Is Set

  The stage is already set for Detroit to become The Green Capital of The World. As of right now, there's no other city in the world that's more ready and willing to serve as the hub of The Peoples Industry as we are here in The Motor City.

•  There's no secret that Detroit has an abundance of available factories that are just waiting to be retro-fitted, re-tooled, and re-opened to produce the green products and create the green jobs that are vital to building a smarter, cleaner, and greener tomorrow. Thereby positioning Detroit to spearhead The Peoples Industry the same way we have done and continue to do with several of the world's greatest industries. 
•  The whole world can see that our city has a vast array of available properties with structures that are capable of being retro-fitted to serve a more eco and economic friendly purpose (e.g. generating our own energy via. wind, solar, and/or geothermal). That coupled with the fact that we're surrounded by over 20% of the world's fresh water, and we also possess plenty of fertile land, there's no question that Detroit is ready to become the city that will set the standard for other cities to follow in order to serve a more smart, clean, and green purpose in our world.
•  And most importantly, Detroit has the greatest resource of them all...a skilled workforce who are more than ready and willing to once again exercise our expertise in manufacturing, the arts, the sciences, entrepreneurship etc...Along with help from the rest of the world working towards achieving the common goal of saving our planet, we will build a smarter, cleaner, and greener tomorrow together. 

  The effects of global warming can and will be reversed, the current energy and unemployment crisis can and will be solved, and the city that first felt the burden of this recession can and will be revitalized to perform yet another industrial miracle by evolutionizing the green industry into The People's Industry, and here's how... 

              

                           The Nature Of Our Plan

 The nature of The Green Vision Plan is to build a network of members who all believe in our mission and are willing to take part in helping to build a smarter, cleaner, and greener tomorrow together; thereby evolutionizing the green industry into The Peoples Industry.

                                     In Closing

 Just a little over two scores ago, a Movement was born that raised the ethical standards of man-kind by exposing the world to the evils of oppression and injustice that thrived in a country that was founded on the promise of liberty and justice for all. Since then, every successful movement has in some way, shape, or form incorporated the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of The Civil Rights Movement into their Movement... The Go Green Movement is no exception.

 Since founding our organization, I've been relentlessly pursuing remedies to what ails our environment and economy, while at the same time devising and promoting a plan that will help bring the cure we need. But to say that I've been working on The Green Vision Plan since our inception back on Earth Day '09 wouldn't be true. The fact of the matter is that I've been working on this plan my whole life. As far back as I can remember, I've been imagining and entertaining thoughts and ideas of a system that would help the have-nots with a job so they can provide for their families until they were in a position to return the favour. That was long before I knew anything about capitalism, the environment, or even the American Dream for that matter.

  As everyone else who has, by the grace of God, endured a life of trials and tribulations, I too continue to hold fast to the vision that has shaped and moulded me to tackle environmental, economic, and social issues with the vigour of a lion. This is because I know in my heart that green jobs are the cure-all for many of the world’s problems. And with that said, I must make mention of the countless glass ceilings, the lack of resources, the nay-Sayers, and every other senseless opposition I've encountered while establishing The Movement.

  Thankfully, all that opposition has given me a broader understanding of why these issues that the world now suffers from exist, as well as given me ideas of how we can solve these problems. And I tell you what, until Artists, Scientists, Entrepreneurs, and skilled workers have access to the resources needed to express their visions, man-kind will not continue to evolve at the rate we have witnessed over these past few decades. That understanding is what brought me to the conclusion that we must start pooling our resources together to create green jobs in order to make a meaningful change in our world today... and I'm looking forward to working with you...

Peace,

Marc Jones

Founder & CEO/CGO of

The Go Green Movement

I hope, more initiatives like The Go Green Movement would sprout up in the near future; all over the world to make this planet a heaven to live in. Initiatives like this create numerous job opportunities too.
