Ecoteams
Americans consume a third of the planet's resources and waste up to 70% due to inefficiency and lack of awareness.
Households directly consume one third of these resources and indirectly use much of the rest through the purchase of products and services.
How we live is a big part of the problem. But it can also be a big part of the solution, IF we adopt more environmentally sustainable lifestyles. That means exercising more care, or stewardship, in our use of the Earth's finite resources to ensure that there will be enough for our children and their children. Global Action Plan's Household EcoTeam Program helps individuals lower their environmental impact through adopting more resource efficient lifestyle practices.
On January 2, 2003, Mayor McGlynn held a press conference to announce the City's financial support for Ecoteams.
