Taking the Pledge to Be ONE is more than just simple steps - it can help reduce our impact on the planet.  Take the Pledge to Be ONE, and be part of the solution today!

Green your ride
Did you know that the transportation sector contributes 30% of the Midwest’s global warming pollution?  Skipping one four-mile round trip in your car can save about 15 pounds of air pollution!

Drink clean tap water
The Great Lakes are one of the best sources of drinking water on the planet, so why import bottled water from thousands of miles away?  Use your tap if you have clean, safe drinking water instead of bottled water. Many people throughout the Midwest don’t have the option of drinking water from the tap. Contact your local municipality to demand the right for clean, safe drinking water in your town.

Bring your own bag - BYOB
We use 100 billion - that’s billion - plastic bags a year and only 5% are recycled.  Paper bags require more logging and use four times the energy to produce.  Your best bet: use a reusable bag.

Get unplugged
We only use energy when the power is on, right? Wrong.  We actually use energy even when our appliances are turned off.  In fact, 25% of the energy we use in our home is from appliances and electronics, so we are paying just to keep them unused and plugged in.  Stop the power drain and unplug your appliances when you’re not using them.

Use your voice
We need policies that promote clean energy, reduce global warming pollution, and preserve our natural places.  Contact your elected officials and tell them to support strong environmental policies.  It’s easy to make a difference.  Join ELPC’s online action network by signing the pledge and take action today.

Tell your friends to sign the pledge.
