Steps
- The first stage in any venture of this scale is to take community action. Join groups of like-minded people; if you can't find any, consider starting one. Transition Towns are a strong force in society at the moment.
- Gather information on how your community or organizations around you are participating in going green.
- Begin to participate in daily activities, whether you are recycling a can or planting more trees. Every little bit helps, and the best way to teach others is by example.
- Share your information and experiences with your peers.
- Keep up with your green work and stay up-to-date with environmental news.
- Try every possible way to go green, if every one did this, imagine how much we would help the earth!
