When it comes to people who are new to the green scene, extremism can definitely be a turnoff. There are an awful lot of people out there who’d love to do their part to help the planet, but want to take it at their own pace. That’s cool. And we know just where people like that should start their journey – at Do the Green Thing.
Green Thing is a not-for-profit public service that inspires people to lead a greener life, providing seven easy-to-follow tips through hilarious videos like ‘Gusty and Ford’ and ‘Walking Fingers’.
