Green Steps provides service opportunities through supporting the environment, the newest area of focus in Rotary. Green Steps is how members of Rotary E-Club of Central Texas can do service together while being apart. We can each do our part and that is our service.
Green Step #1. Reduce plastic by taking reuseable water bottle, bags with you at all times.
Green Step #2 Meatless Monday. Eat less meat and more vegetables. Meat production, particularly beef creates methane a greenhouse gas that warms the environment.
Green Step #3 Plant Pollinator Plants. By replacing grass you don't have to mow, water, fertilize, or use pesticides and that is good for bees!
Green Step #4 Mindful Mowing (wait until wildflowers go to seed)
Green Step #5 Leave the Leaves on the ground. Allow leaves to turn into compost and enrich the soil.
Green Step #6 Respect, Reverence, Respect in Relationship to Mother Earth by walking softly, leave no trace, feast responsibility, look to the Seventh Generation.
