Environment & Ecoliteracy

I drive every day 40 miles to work, Indirectly the affects on the environment from one normal individual. If I had choice I would not do that. I would look for alternate work commute.

1) Gas (3 gallons) ----- Helps in pollution

2) Tires usage -------- Helps in Pollution

3) Engine oils ------ Helps in pollution

Alternatively If the Road structures or the planning of the road system in such a way that I need not drive, but use a non pollutant means of transportation Like a regular Bicycle.. Yes bicycle I want to do atleast thrice a week when the weather is fine.....the other part is government takes initiative to build new roads but does not look into the smallest energy saving fact that saving fossil fuels is give the public options of using less or not using it, I will give the math to not using my car as commute.

3days a week on bicycle * savings on gas 3*3 = 9 gallons (one car)

from virginia to Washington commuters Approx (20,000) multiplies * 9 gallon/day = 180,000 gallons/day. saving in one city commute.

Supporting the Message

Atraction's action communities are created to help people plug-in and engage after seeing our films. Help us continue our work and support the message by buying our DVDs, T-shirts or other cool things related to our films. The films we make are created to raise awareness and help foster change around issues of the environment, social justice, consciousness, health and well-being. With each film we launch and action community and conduct educational tours of the film to universities and schools. We also create teaching materials that help people dive deeper into the subject. By purchasing a DVD, or other things, you help spread the message.

Purpose

The purpose of this website is to inspire people to take action. We encourage people to take action at home and in their communities. On this social action website, you will see thousands of examples of what people have chosen to do to make the world a better place. We believe that when people see what other people are doing, it helps them take action too. So we ask that you open a profile, and tell us what action you are doing, perhaps you are going to plant a vegetable garden, or you are going to help start a recycling program at school, whatever it is, let us know and tell us how it's going. You can post videos, pictures and statements. If you need inspiration, check and see what people have done by looking on the action map or joining a group that has already started. Together, step by step, action by action, we can create a healthy and just world.

Take Action

Stop talking. Now is the time. Take action here.
