Go Green! Personal Pledge
The Go Green! Personal Pledge is an effort to get every Lansing Area resident to think and act in ways that reduce their environmental impact. The goal of the Pledge is to empower residents to make a positive change in their communities. It is composed of a personal checklist with 5 simple but effective ways to actively reduce your ecological footprint. Over a thousand Lansing-area residents have already taken the pledge and are playing an important role in helping the City to meet its greenhouse gas emission reduction goals.
The Go Green! Pledge asks residents to commit to 5 simple things to reduce environmental impact in their area:
- Strive to use alternative transportation when possible
- Replace some of the incandescent lighting in their homes with CFLs
- Reduce waste
- Conserve energy
- Recycle
You can make a difference in preventing climate change!
- Planting 20 seedlings can replace 1 ton of greenhouse gases
- Utilizing reusable shopping bags in your household can prevent the disposal of up to 1500 plastic bags each year
- Changing 5 incandescent light bulbs to CFLs can save money and energy!
