take action

Share your GREEN commitment to the world's children

This month's MAU action is to make a pledge to take substantial "green steps" between now and Earth Day 2008 (April 22nd). Be bold and look at: how you shop, how much you throw away, driving habits (including sports practices), etc. Involve your family in crafting the pledge and don't be afraid to go big!

Submit a commitment and receive a green MAU bumper sticker! MAU will also post a variety of these ideas on the MAU blog to inspire others to change habits.

From our personal commitment, we will engage our communities, influence decision makers and VOILA! create cultural shifts that ensure a secure and sustainable planet for future generations.
