Living green should be more than just a motto or a standard for most of us, but should become more of a common life style because, by respecting nature, we first respect ourselves. In our demanding daily activities we gather more stress than our ancestors gathered in years of war and hunger, not to mention the bad energies attracted and the anger of Mother Nature. And all of this for what? Hundreds of forests are being cut for profit purposes only, massive water and air pollution still exists in almost all cities across the globe, nature isn’t respected at all and we all have a chaotic life style, without respecting any rules of decency or common sense consumerism.

And let’s face it, among all, the first ones that draw themselves back from obeying the rules are the youngsters, who, by nature, defy any forms of regulations or laws. Youngsters and students tend to pollute the most by not carrying too much about the environment or considering the consequences of their actions. But, luckily, they don’t teach them exclusively bad things in school, so that many of the students grow to become ecologists or activists, fighting for the rights of a cleaner and greener environment.

And while most of them are involved in real actions which combine recycling with charity and community service work as well as with the adoption of a more organic and natural life style, there are still some who think that the power of the word has a massive influence upon the masses. This is why, by actions from students to students, they try to draw attention upon the risks of an over consuming world and market and also try to sensitize the audition with touching quotes.

As you may probably guess, there are thousands of quotes and sayings regarding earth, the planet or ecologists actions; some were said by in deed revolutionary men, others are ancient sayings, but all in all, they summarize the quintessence of life itself and try to make people understand better what life truly is about and why nature is so important for us all. A true quote derived from an ancient Kenyan proverb says “Treat the Earth well. It was not given to you by your parents. It was loaned to you by your children”, which is probably best suitable for students and youngsters who always think the world is theirs.

Another quote which should be taken seriously by students and start creating some positive feedback is the Viridian Design Manifesto which says “Do less, with less”, a remark which clearly aimes to make people fully aware of the limited resources our planet has and start creating the same things only by using green technologies.
