Get Active

Get active with the Personally Green movement and let us show you how!
As an activist, you can educate people in your community and positively affect their attitudes and lifestyles. Regardless of your level of experience with activism, Personally Green movement campaigns team can help you make a difference for the environment. You just need the desire to generate positive change and to believe that your voice and actions matter. We're here to help you at every step of the way!

Some activists focus on one issue, while others speak out on several different topics. The choice is yours. The important thing is that you do something, not assume that "someone else will take care of it." Step in and speak up!

Just Do It
Our Global environment is depending on you. Remember, Personally Green movement offers guidance, and there is a wealth of information on this site and more to help you take action. As politician Edmund Burke once said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

Everyday Activism
Ditch the soccer T-shirts and sport an environmental message instead! Use your trip to the store, the ball game, and anywhere else to proudly declare pro-environmental messages.
Stuck in a jam? Give drivers something to read besides your license plate. Make that drive to work count: Put a bumper sticker (more than two is too many) on your car.
Leave a trail, Carry personally green calling cards with you and post them everywhere—at the laundromat, in waiting rooms, on the bus, or in dressing rooms, bookstores, coffee shops, and grocery stores. Never pass a bulletin board without tacking up a calling card. How much easier can it get?

Engage in button and ribbon activism. Wear compassion on your sleeve (or backpack or hat). It’s amazing how effective simple activities, like strategically placing a Personallygreen.com sticker or an “Ask me why I’m Personally green” button on your jacket or backpack, can be so affective. Quick and easy actions like these can help you get your message to dozens of people (or more!) every day. You’ll be amazed by the conversations that one little badge or sticker can start! It’s also a great way to meet like-minded people.

Speak out! Within earshot of other shoppers in the checkout line, talk with a friend about the television special that you saw on global warming. Have loud conversations on the subway or bus about how great it is to be environmentally aware. Be sure to carry green calling cards with you so that when everyone around you starts asking questions, you can provide them with more information. People eavesdrop all the time—use their nosiness to your advantage.
Make your refrigerator into a billboard for the environment. magnets and stickers are always great things to put in the kitchen, especially if yours is often visited by the unenlightened.

Grassroots Activism
Set up an information table for the environment and Personallygreen.com and we can help provide you with everything you need! A great way to reach a large number of people is to set up an information table in a busy area of your town (try the local mall, concerts, street and craft fairs, middle schools, high schools, colleges, etc., and always be sure to get permission). Stock your table with fliers and factsheets and get ready to amaze and educate passersby.

Make a library display. Public libraries usually have prominently placed display cases that members can use to educate others about issues that concern them. A display with a collage or poster, some leaflets, and appropriate books from the library is sure to get attention and turn heads!

Plan a demonstration. Organizing a demonstration is a great way to help the environment, and it’s not as scary or difficult as it may sound. In fact, demonstrations can involve as little as passing out leaflets and holding posters. Personally green has all the information that you’ll need to hold a successful demonstration.

Promote environmental issues on cable-access TV. Expose thousands of people to the Personally green movement on global environmental issues by organizing your own cable-access television show. It’s easy, and we can supply you with all the information and tapes that you’ll need for free! contact au for more info.

Social Activism
Be sure to write letters to the editors of all magazines to which you subscribe on environmental issues. Actions like these will take very little time but make a big difference for the environment.
Teach a college or community education course in global warming or a environmentally sensitive lifestyle. Reach thousands of people who read the catalog, plus the people who sign up for the class. Most communities have alternative colleges or community education programs where you can sign up to teach a course.

Sponsor a speaker (or arrange to give a talk yourself!). Sponsoring a speaker or giving a talk is easier than it sounds, and it’s both effective and easy. Many local schools, universities, and civic clubs will host speeches on environmental issues. Contact us to find out if we have a contact at the venue that you’re considering. We can also provide you with ideas for possible speakers and information on becoming a speaker yourself.

Consumer Activism
You have consumer power! You flex your muscle when you vote with your wallet to encourage a more environmentally responsible lifestyle. For example, buying shade-grown coffee is a simple thing that you can do to make this world a hospitable one for migrating birds and is well as saving the rain forest. Without places to rest up, millions of birds’ lives are threatened, and shade-grown coffee plantations provide this much-needed respite while sun-grown coffee farms don’t. Giving environmentally responsible gifts as presents is another fabulous way to encourage your unenlightened friends to sample great energy saving products.
