Here are 5 steps to getting the people around you on board.

  • Step 1: Don’t push it!
  • Step 2: No really….., don’t push it | Although going green is becoming the ever more popular lifestyle, to a lot of people it’s hard to shake certain ideas they might have about being green (you know, going green = living like a hippie in the woods with no water or electricity….). So take it easy and start introducing a greener lifestyle to them through simple changes like:
  • Step 3: Start slow by providing a simple easy to do routine | Example: next time you visit you friend(s) or family leave a container to deposit their plastic in. By doing this they’re doing a great thing for the ecosystem and are greatly reducing their garbage output. Let them know where they can go to recycle the plastic in the area or, if need be, offer to pickup the plastic when the bin gets filled.
  • Step 4: Suggest some small changes | Example: change an incandescent lightbulb to LED or CFL, suggest replacing some kitchen paper by a reusable kitchen towel or recycled kitchen paper
