What is One Million Acts of Green?
This season, CBC and The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos want to mobilize Canadians to do One Million Acts of Green. In partnership with Cisco, the idea behind the campaign is that one small act can make a big difference.
It’s not about overhauling your life; it’s about one act from each individual amassing to a million. It can be as simple as switching to compact fluorescent lightbulbs, starting a recycling program, or walking to work. You can do one act – or you can do all one million! It’s up to you.
Young and old, parents and kids, small towns and big cities, we want to create an exciting grassroots initiative. All you have to do is go to this website and register one act – or more. Our green calculator, designed by GreenNexxus, will determine the impact of those acts on the environment.
We’re asking everyone to get involved: schools and universities, cities and communities, business, politicians, and even celebrities. George and The Hour are challenging other CBC programs to go green, including CBC News, Kids’ CBC, Steven & Chris, Living, and CBC Sports. But most of all, YOU.
Together we can make an impact. Together we can make our lives, our communities, and our environment greener.
One million acts of green, one act a time.
What is an Act of Green?
An Act of Green is an opportunity to help the environment. It’s you reducing your greenhouse gas emissions. It’s your contribution to fighting global warming. It may be something simple like changing your light bulbs – swapping out the old ones for the new twirly ones – or it could be something big like building a windmill to help power your home. Either way, it’s up to you. It’s about bringing people together to help the environment. It’s about reaching One Million Acts of Green, one act at time.
