Earth Day Initiative is a non-profit in New York City offering a variety of programs to make it as easy as possible for people to make a real world green impact. Our Do Just 1 Thing campaign was designed with the mission to provide people with simple solutions to take the sustainability of their communities into their own hands. A large way we keep our communities engaged is through our work with New York City schools, community organizations, and offices.
We see that once people take the first step to go green, they are often looking for additional things they can do to green their lives. We see a lot of demand for a quick overview or top 10 list of ways that people can green their offices, their classrooms, or their homes.
We want to create a “The Simple Guide to Go Green” program to provide individuals looking to green their community with a thorough, step-by-step rundown of the low-hanging fruit they could tackle in their own homes or facilities to make them more sustainable. This resource will be open to New York teachers, employers, and families, and give them an outline of greener practices they can integrate into their classrooms, offices, and homes. The program will consist of a guide and assistance from our own staff to hold people's hand through the process of going green, providing helpful tips for engaging the right stakeholders and constituencies to get things going in their own communities.
