Conscience?

Conscience, as defined by Oxford Languages, is an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior.

Therefore, Green Conscience means one's awareness and inner feeling that is used to make conscious decisions regarding the goodness of our environment.

When it comes to building a green conscience, it is important to look at everyday things you are doing that are affecting the environment negetively and what can you do to be more sustainable about them.

Ask yourself questions such as:

1. Do you feel guilty about throwing plastic in trash instead of recycling it?

2. Do you turn off lights if the room or place is not in use?

3. Do you turn off the water when brushing your teeth to not waste it?

4. Do you worry about climate change and how it will affect the environment?

If you answered "Yes" to these questions, then you have a green conscience.
