The term Climate Change has been more frequently used in present day conversations than twenty years ago. Sociological Studies hinted that as Society turns more complex, so is its Language. This just tells us that the use of new words or phrases as topics depends on its evidence in that society. In connection with the present, the idea that Sociology has propounded is valid. The concept of Climate Change has truly grown more obvious now in our contemporary society.
In the past, we frequently thought of little changes around us as trivial matters unworthy of our time. The hustles and bustles of life unwittingly shadowed these serious problems that now, we are afflicted with. We even thought of those Scientists who assiduously coordinate forums about its risks as incongruous people; but the truth is, they are the real illuminators. They shed light to the things that we have been ignoring for a long time. There have been actions to fight this seemingly minutiae problem, but still, they are not adequate. We must remember that problems facing the world will not be cleared if only one symptom is cured; a holistic healing is definitely needed.
Though we keep on deceiving ourselves into thinking that the world matches our ideal vista, the truth will always hit us with a tsunami (literally). Climate change is difficult to combat. That is why the more rapid it changes its pace (often faster and to our danger); the more combative we must be in order to forbid it. Since the current Climate Change talks are centered on business (particularly factories and industries), why don't we stretch its scope into its other parts, the offices. In this nook, a green-minded concept is extending its help- Green Ergonomics.
What is green ergonomics? Green Ergonomics is a coined-term which stands for the study of workplace aim for the comfort and efficiency of workers instilled with social responsibility on the environment. To start the workplace renovation, the changes that may be featured in a green workplace are the following:
1) Plants! - Buildings may drop the monotony in their designs by adding plants as ornaments to its walls and to its other parts;
2) Environment friendly office supplies- The materials that may be used are those prepared out of recyclable materials which are environment friendly in all its fibers;
3) Appliances- The use of low energy consumption (or those that use other sources of energy such as solar, wind, nuclear) is not just beneficial to the environment but also to the production costs of the company.
These are just few of the examples. We can still immerse ourselves on research and come up with new ones. Besides, if Necessity and Passion are present, an innovation will surely come out. This may also be achieved through the initiative of both the private sector and the government of any society. The government, to boost such activities, may pass a mandate that states a reinvention of present workplaces into a "green workplace". It is also an reward for the company applying green ergonomics for it send off a message to its customers (and would be customers) that it practices Social Responsibility.
Our solution to the ginormous Climate Change problem may be viewed as small; but still, if it can aid, it is enough to be called valiant. We are the inhabitants of this precious planet. No one else will take care of her but us. So as her children, may we all find solutions in our respective bailiwicks and hope for her recovery. If we succeed, we have not only found her cure, we also added a new word to our diurnal conversations. That word/s may be the word of the year and the elixir of our planet's illness. It is none other than the green-minded concept, Green Ergonomics.
