Get the Word Out!
by Linda and Tosh
 | Creating an e-newsletter will help galvanize support for your green cause. You’ll need to include a good photo so people feel a sense of connection to you and your message. Send your passionate, positive, and powerful messages out every week or month around the same time, and keep them long enough that they add value to your readers’ lives but not too long that they overwhelm. |
Talk to your buds :)
by Emma
| It's easy to get some more green followers; all you have to do is talk to your friends! Don't be preachy (saying that their carbon foot print is huge) or nagging (don't do this don't do that) or they won't listen. But if you're calm and clear, you can rustle up a few more advocates for mama earth. I talked to my friends, and now they're greener than ever before. Easy :) |

Shop Organic

| If you want to eat green, and pretty much everywhere else is really killer expensive, try going to Trader Joe's, or something like Fresh Market. |
Time to carpool
by Paige Harmon
| My friends and I carpool with about 4 people in a car and our bus stop is MAJOR far away, but we endure it every now and then. Try to carpool with everyone in your neighborhood when your headed to school or shopping because we sure have made an impact on our peers when they see five or six people getting out of a small Audi. (27 mpg baby!) |
Green Authors
by Sarah
| For all of you future authors out there, ask your publishers to print your bestseller on 100% recycled paper. Also, if there's a misprint, make sure that all of the pages are recycled, not thrown in the trash! |
