We all know we need to do something about rising energy costs and environmental issues. And we all know we better start now. But many of us get intimidated, overwhelmed or just plain confused by challenges that seem beyond our control. How can I change the world?
Well, you don't have to. That's the whole point of OneThing. You don't have to do everything. Imagine if you felt you had to incorporate energy-efficient behavior into every minute of your life.
I bought an ENERGY STAR fridge but I need my gas-guzzling SUV to pick it up. What do I do?
All you truly have to do is find your own favorite ways to reduce energy use. Then do your OneThing today. Do your OneThing tomorrow. And maybe do two or three OneThings the next day. And you know what? If we all do that... we really can change the world. OneThing at a time.
Here's the official OneThing Philosophy:
OneThing is a mindset.
It's the realization that you can have a dramatic impact on our energy future by doing OneThing.
OneThing is a solution.
Reducing energy costs. Preserving the planet. These things are so big, you might think there's nothing you can do about them. But even if you only do OneThing, you're doing something to solve these problems.
OneThing is an action.
It's the thing you can do to save energy at home, on the road or in the workplace. And it's hundreds of things you can choose from everyday.
OneThing is a movement.
If everyone did OneThing to save energy, that'd be more than 3-and-a-half million OneThings in Connecticut alone. And if everyone did OneThing every day, that's more than a billion OneThings every year. And if OneThing leads to another, pretty soon there could be so many people doing so many OneThings, there would be enough things to change our energy future. And that's everything.
