Pledge to Live a One Planet Life

Target: You!
Sponsored by: Care2

If everyone consumed as much as North Americans, we would need five planets to sustain our high-waste, high-pollution habits.

Each of us can make a difference. By learning more about our individual impact, we can significantly reduce the amount of pollution and waste we produce as a whole. It can start with something as simple as buying fewer pieces of clothing or driving one less day per week.

Please watch the video, and show your commitment to decreasing your impact on our One Planet by signing this pledge and learning more from the resources provided by Care2. Pledge to live a One Planet Life, learn more and teach others about how it can be done!
  
I pledge to start practicing One Planet living by:
- Educating myself about how to reduce my impact on the Earth
- Telling my friends how they can reduce their impact on the Earth
- Reducing the amount of clothing and luxury items I buy
- Reducing energy consumption in my home
- Buying healthy, local, organic food
- Cutting down on transportation
- Buying environmentally-friendly home and personal care products
- Cutting down on water use and waste in my home
- Offsetting my impact by supporting organizations that work to preserve natural resources

Efficiency is more cost effective than generation (making new stuff) and pays a higher return (interest rate) than paper investments (savings, CDs, stocks, bonds, etc) Efficiency also happens to be great for reducing pollution and carbon emissions. So let's do it and make money while plowsharing that money back into the local economy instead of exporting money to buy more waste.

I'm already living the lifestyle.I don't own a car and no longer drive. And I am a former professional driver! I have also decreased consumption of meat unless it is donated from the local food pantry, in which case if it is something I am NOT ALLERGIC to. I travel either by foot or bus.I live on a fixed income so I can't afford all the latest designer duds either. So I already live the less is more life style due to poverty.

My husband and I have been practicing One Planet Living for 2+ years, and it is not difficult. It just takes awareness, and a tiny moment of time to think before we act.
