Our Military is Going Green

Businesses are going green to reduce their bottom line and adhere to consumer demands but it seems the military is going green because “it has to.” War is one of the greatest threats to the environment. This includes everything that goes into conducting a war, as well as the effects of the war itself, the degradation, desertification in a flash. Although fighting for a cause has the aftereffect of barren land, the military is working on the first mentioned component: that which is produced to conduct war.

It is becoming more difficult to transport fuel to troops and American families as fuel trucks are high priced targets in war zones. So, the military has decided to eliminate the need for fuel. Their goal is for “50% of the power for Navy and Marines to come from renewable sources by 2020.” Let’s give it up for our warriors!!!! Now they are protecting us and the planet.
