The state of our planet is a little spooky right now. Human activity and modern conveniences are taking a significant toll on the plants, animals, and natural resources we rely on. Climate change, species extinction, and other urgent environmental issues threaten all life on Earth, including us.
The scariest part of it all? We could witness waves of extinctions in as few as 50 years, and there doesn’t seem to be an easy way to prevent them.
Except …
If each of us — billions of individuals worldwide — made modest changes in our everyday lives, we could protect the planet and its resources for ourselves, our kids, and for future generations.
I know it’s unlikely that billions of people will sign up today to alter their lifestyles. But what if 2,000 people over the next few weeks pledged to make one small change? What if those 2,000 people encouraged 2,000 more to do the same? And what if it were simple, like trying something new this Halloween?
Here’s what you can do …

Be an Eco-warrior for Halloween this year. Visit www.conservation.org/ecofootprint to measure the size of your ecological footprint. It’s quick, easy, and educational. At the end, you’ll discover whether you’re and Eco-novice, -apprentice, -ally, or -warrior and get tips on how to be as light-footed as you can be. |

Take the Halloween Eco-pledge. Whether it’s being extra creative with your costume, using a canvas bag to capture your treats, or tricking others into carpooling that night, one small change can make all the difference. Take the Halloween Eco-Pledge now! |
 |
Tell someone. Each of your small actions can spark a chain of other actions. Tell just two of your friends or family members to measure their eco-footprints or sign the pledge along with you, and you’ve multiplied your impact. It’s that easy. |
If humans are part of the cause of today’s environmental scary story, we can be part of its solution, and we can start with a greener Halloween.
