Many people have the inclination of joining the green energy movement but they don’t know where to start or they think the move will be painful and expensive. However this is not the case anymore. Here are a few tips on how you can actively become a green energy activist.
First of all you should read as much important information as possible as to what role does a green energy activist play. You can find plenty of information on the internet about the same. You should ideally join a green energy activist club or a website as a member. This will keep you informed about what is happening in the green energy world and you will be able to contribute in your own way. There are good clubs such as the Sierra Club which help the green activists put forward their opinions and thoughts and gather as much research as possible about green energy.
You can even find and sign petitions such as getting annual reports by companies or bank statements by emails rather than printing them on paper. This step will also lead to less waste in our landfills. You can set up challenges for yourself and then see how you are faring in completing them. For example, you can pledge to ride a bicycle to work for a week and then see how you are able to cope up with the new exercise. Maybe you can start washing clothes in cold water.
You can follow your actions by taking your activism to the next level. Let people around you know about your green activities and invite them to join the movement. You can also get actively involved in going green in everyday activities such as reduce the use of power sources and fuel. Don’t forget to spread the word around in whatever way you can. You can also write letters to the local authorities providing your ideas of saving fuel and other incentives. You can also write to them about renewable energy credits. You should be motivated enough to write these letters regularly and get more people involved in the movement.
Last but not the least; you can speak up as a green activist. Update yourself on the latest information so that you can speak to people. By becoming a green activist you are telling the people around you and the government that you care about your environment.
