At Green Elephant News, our team of journalist and researchers are passionate about the planet. We are eager to see the world heal and thrive for centuries to come. And we believe most of our readers feel the same.
Unfortunately, the response to the climate crisis from the world’s leaders, both in government and industry, has been weak at best and disingenuous at worst. The headlines that warn of our inescapable doom leave us feeling disheartened and powerless.
We are not powerless. To find solutions to this seemingly insurmountable problem, we need to flex our collective strengths and work together to find solutions. As is often the case, change comes in small steps taken by many. Everyone can make a difference.
This is the principle behind the creation of Green Elephant News. Small adjustments to our daily habits can create a positive impact that can affect the world. Thus, we have planted our banner on the edge of the vast Internet landscape hoping to help our visitors find the latest environmental news, uncover ways to travel responsibility, evaluate eco-friendly products, and help them ease into sustainable lifestyles.
The climate crisis should not be a controversial subject. The science is there. Proof of our evolving environment has been gathered and presented. But, as it has been said, the fact that we are degrading our home is an inconvenient truth.
But you should seek the facts. Do your own due diligence. Find sources that are widely accepted and trusted, as some news organizations can be loose with their reality. Others greenwash their point of view by making themselves seem more environmentally favorable than they truly are.
This is an age-old marketing ploy to influence a reader’s honest concerns about the environment to promote products, business interests, or political views. The Internet requires a fastidious amount of scrutiny. Only by making discerning choices can we create a new and sustainable world community.
Our readers can be certain stories and reviews at Green Elephant News adhere to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. Our articles are always well-researched and vented by our staff or recruited experts.
Whether it is an informational article or product review, we approach our work as any trusted news organization should. Our reviews and articles are not paid for from outside sources. If we receive free products for review, we will be sure our readers know and that the manufacturer does not influence the review. If we publish an op-ed piece, it will be clearly noted the article is the writer’s opinion.
We admit that some resources are beyond the reach of our young organization. As a media platform, we cannot ignore the ever-changing headlines from around the world. To offer our readers the information they deserve, we openly gather information from other trusted media sources regarding environmental news and present it with clear links in our World News and Science News sections.
While Green Elephant News’ primary focus is helping our readers shift their personal lifestyles toward a more sustainable future, we recognize that the climate crisis is an international problem. One that cannot be ignored or left for future generations to solve. Not if we wish to maintain a habitable planet.
Ultimately, it will require incredible political pressure to lay the groundwork for reversing the effects of the climate crisis. The status quo is unsustainable, and long-term changes will soon be essential to keep the planet healthy. We believe only a well-informed world citizenry will have the potential to press their leaders to act accordingly.
