How can I convince someone to live "green" or environmentally friendly?
Does anyone have any sources on why someone should go green?
This is for a research paper, I am having difficulties getting sources
Unfortunately, bring up saving money and lots of people will jump on that. So I would look for sources (try Readers Digest, Good Housekeeping, and other magazines for articles. Or pull up a local area paper and search for articles) that site money savings per household. Sadly not too many people care that it will save aspect of our world, but if it saves them money…then they are there. Maybe take it upon yourself to get them a blue recycling bin from the local recycling center (that can be part of why they don’t do it, just never got the bin). Talk about how infrequently you have to change a eco-lightbulb (that is a hassle that they can be saved). But be realistic. Not everyone is up on the ‘going green’ idea and if they are really resistant, you are wasting your breath and making a nag of yourself. It will not be appreciated or well recieved. In that case, you may have to face that you are not responsible for converting another and you have done what you could.
