Change can start with just one person. One action. One Million Acts of Green.
We know that to change human impact on the environment we have to change how we think and how we act. But how do you start? We think you can start simple, with “acts of green.”
In October 2008, Cisco launched One Million Acts of Green in Canada to show that individual, organizational, and community acts of green add up to something significant. Today, we’re asking everyone in the United States for an act of green. It can be small: install a low-flow showerhead, take public transportation instead of driving, use a refillable coffee cup. Or something bigger, like covering your roof in solar panels.
One Million Acts of Green asks you to form a community, record your acts of green, and share your ideas to encourage others. It shows the power of people coming together and working toward meaningful goals—the power of the human network.
