Green Crusaders

The Alarm

Life, as we know it, is on the threshold of catastrophic change. In terms of our environment. In terms of our society.

Human beings are responsible for having created this tragedy. In order to atone for our sins, as a first step, we need to reflect on our thoughtless actions.

Some  organizations have done just that. They have confronted themselves with a mirror. I refer to them as Green Crusaders.

I would like to list some of these Green Crusader organizations that I have been introduced to. They have a conscience. They understand the impact of their careless actions on society at large.

These organizations have initiated corrective actions. Some of these actions have been specific. Others have been generic.
