Everyone is aware of the issues that are affecting the environment but many find it difficult to motivate themselves to actually take action and do something about it. Would it not be nice to have someone doing all of the thinking for you; have them give you regularly updated ideas on how you can contribute to saving the planet? Well there is a new not-for-profit organisation that may be just what you need.
Green Thing - is a new online community dedicated to urging us all to adopt a greener lifestyle. Sign up to join at www.dothegreenthing.com and you will receive a monthly challenge - such as walking instead of driving short distances, turning your lights off early, or buying fewer things that are new - and an invitation to engage at a number of different levels. It’s all sugar-coated with fun and entertaining content added to the Green Thing website throughout each month.
Green experts also helped the Green Thing team to calculate a value for the carbon saving of an individual member doing each monthly task once. For example, by substituting one two-mile drive with a two-mile walk - Green Thing’s October challenge - you can save 0.67kg of carbon dioxide, based on recent government data analysis of research into distances travelled by different groups of people by different means. It may sound modest, but do it more often, then consider the combined saving made by the entire Green Thing community and the savings start to stack up. Excerpts courtesy of the Telegraph.
