Last week I wrote about an exciting partnership with One Million Acts of Green. Cisco (you IT folks may know them from their routers) is encouraging people in the US to collectively commit to One Million Acts of Green.
One the things I like about the program enough to endorse it, is that One Million Acts of Green doesn’t throw you into the deep end of the green living pool. After you register or connect via Facebook you have access to Green U. Green U is a list of suggestions on how to go green. After you complete an act of green, Green U gives you how much carbon you saved based on where you live so your savings may be different than mine.
This is my One Million Acts of Green profile
More Than a Green Living List
One Million Acts of Green is thankfully more than just a green living list of ideas. There are how to articles, social networking (which is kind of awesome to find like minded people to bounce idea off of), and you can add your own green projects to the list if you don’t find a green habit that’s already listed on Green U. For example, I added do a DIY Home Energy Audit to my Project List.
You can add green projects to your profile if you don't see them listed on Green U.
Three to Green Contest Incentive
For every three acts of green that you mark complete on Green U and it’s corresponding tabs Low-cost Home Projects, At School, Transportation, Everyday Habits (the cheapest and sometimes the most difficult things to green), Misc, Summer Projects, Community, and Home Projects you get one entry into the Three to Green Contest.
My acts of green
The Three to Green Contest prize is a super sweet $5,000 green shopping spree at BuyGreen.com, which can help you get started in those green living areas that might require a little financial investment.
What little act of green have you done recently?
