The biggest environmental threat Central Texas faces is, well, Central Texans. The good news is: we’re also the answer.
Each and every day we use the living world to pursue our goals and sustain our lives. Those activities—driving, building, consuming—impact the world around us.
The problem is not the pursuit of these activities, but the pursuit of these activities without understanding or respecting the impact of our actions.
Girl Scouts of Central Texas [7] is helping individuals understand the impact of our lives and modeling simple steps that can offset that impact and improve our communities. The Girl Scouts Forever Green [8] program tracks the power of saving energy and reducing CO2 will help us sustain the world that sustains us.
For 100 years, girls aged 5 through 18 live the Girl Scout motto: “Leave only footprints, take only memories.” Here are two videos from two Girls Scouts of Central Texas [7] troops who embody that commitment and show the rest of us how simple steps add up to care for our world.
See how simple acts can reduce CO2 emissions. Visit the Girl Scouts Forever Green website [8] to track the impact of simple acts can have in saving energy and reducing CO2:
