With so much industrialization nowadays, continued research and innovation, our lives have a gone a long, long way than how simple it was before. However, people have also thought of things that could be damaging or have already damaged the environment. There are people who use dynamites while fishing. There are widespread forest fires because of the combined negligence and hot summer. Some people are also becoming prone to the harms illegal mining can bring.

These disasters are not limited to natural phenomenon and people's activities in the work field. Many also fail to see that their lifestyle has also become toxic to the environment. Even a simple segregating of garbage, recycling those which can still be recycled and keeping away from using products that may damage the world we live are small steps but great leaps into making our environment healthier.

There are already several advocacies into making our environment greener. There are also products developed to make homes, offices, and other places environment-friendly. There are conversions of harmful chemicals into environment-friendly ones but most of the times, availing of such products and services has a price a pay.

Aside from this there are educational fora, seminars and workshops that have been launched to further campaign the use of green in most we do. The widespread information into making the world green is not only limited to the little banners we see in bottles of water, in billboards, and in public service announcement on TV. The green advocacies have also made use of the information superhighway that is the internet, into this campaign.

One of the companies who promote into turning green is FreeGreen, a Massachusetts-based company. FreeGreen makes it their business into turning home and other establishments as green as possible. By doing so, the residents of that home are not only avoiding the risks of getting sick, they are also doing their part in helping the environment by choosing to be green.

How was FreeGreen able to campaign being green more? The answer is by sponsoring a design competition; they encouraged participants to design a green home.
