2. Definition of Green World
The word “Green” has different meanings in
different cultures . In some it symbolizes hope,
growth and environmentalism. Hence in this
case, A Green world would mean a World of
hope,healthy growth and a good environment
to be in.

3. Why do we desire for
this "Green World"?
Our current Situation
The Earth is losing its trees. For example,Ethiopia is down
to 3% forest cover. After trees are cut down, the land will
lose its fertility. Soon Biodiversity dwindles, and water
supplies dry up. The deserts spreads and more appear,
hastening climate change.
What are the options for us?
Plant trees. Lots of trees. Trees heal barren soil and increase
food crops, helping people become self-sufficient. They
remove CO2 from the air, and restore the environment for
generations to come.
