- Erin Brockovich
After 1000 Green Steps brought you fun through environment songs and idols, now it’s time for us to watch those movies about our environment. No! I’m not asking you to watch a boring documentary film about how polluted our earth is, but this is more like a true story film showing us what to do to fight mean people around us 
“Erin Brockovich†is a 2000 drama film which dramatizes the story of Erin Brockovich’s first fight against the American West Coast energy giant Pacific Gas and Electric Company known as PG&E. The film was directed by Steven Soderbergh and featured actress Julia Roberts in the lead role for which she subsequently won the Academy Award for Best Actress. It is based on a true story and the real Erin Brockovich has a cameo appearance as a waitress named Julia.
Do you feel like watching it? 1000 Green Steps, too!
Happy Green Living!
Last week, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced that its Plug-In to eCycling partners collected and recycled more than 66.5 million pounds of used electronics in 2008 as their green steps.
That’s nearly a 30 percent increase from 2007.
And it’s equivalent to preventing the release of greenhouse gases equal to the annual emissions from approximately 15,500 cars.

Use Recycled Paper
You have no idea on how much that will help Mother Earth. This will even cost you lower than those plain papers. 1000 Green Steps already use it at home for years and 1000 Green Steps don’t regret it. Don’t forget to take note on BOTH sides of the paper, too.
Use Bike or Walk instead of Car
If you don’t live in a developing country, I’m sure your school has a comfortable pedestrian access. However if you don’t have, try to save up your fuel money by riding a bike. This will save up your money a lot and most importantly your environment.
Don’t use a Plastic Bag!
Who doesn’t know I’m not a Plastic Bag tote bag? Everyone has got to use it. Remind yourself, your family, or even your neighbor to use a tote bag instead of plastic bags which are mostly only going to be used once. You can get in style AND save your earth at the same time.
Very easy. 1000 Green Steps have been doing that for years until now, and now it’s your turn to influence the people around you to give some love for Mother Earth.
Happy Green Living!

- Queen of Green: Cameron Diaz
I’m sure you have seen Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Leonardo DiCaprio, and even Lisa Simpson in 1000 Green Steps. However, today 1000 Green Steps is going to discuss about Cameron Diaz, who might not being exposed too much about her green steps.
Diaz started her green steps when she joined Gore to announce the initiative Save Our Selves (SOS) – The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis, kicking off with a 24-hour summer concert series known as Live Earth, taking place July 7th, 2007 across seven continents. Then, in a feature on ABC News, Diaz spoke about the need for people to invest in green living and not just hop on board because it happens to be popular right now. The one-time vegetarian has even been quoted as saying she’d like to try out simple country existence for a year, living off the land by growing her own food and milking cows, saying she thrives on being outdoors. As a member of the Environmental Media Association, she has filmed public service announcements, with fellow greenie Gwyneth Paltrow, about the importance of conserving energy. The group’s Gen E (Generation Environment) program brings Hollywood and environmental concerns together, just like Diaz has in her own life.

- Green Birthday Party
Gifts
1000 Green Steps think that it’s nice to apply gift exchange in a birthday party. That is even better if every child brings a ‘green’ friend of them (plants, soil, or even animals!) and in the end they will go home with their own new ‘green’ friend.
Garnish
For the party supplies, try IKEA dinnerwares which are recycled plastics. If your child demands characters decorations such as Spiderman or Princesses, try drawing (or tracing) favourite characters or items on kraft paper to make a tablecloth. Even better, let the kids do it at the party. As for balloons, it might be easiest to go cold turkey. That may sound outrageous, but there are plenty of reasons. Fancy mylar balloons are not biodegradable. Even normal latex balloons, which do eventually break down, can cause problems.
Goodies
While kids are thrilled to rip open these sacks of treasure, the pleasure is usually short-lived. There is a reason that these items were inexpensive – they are poorly made, mass-produced, and definitely not sustainable. Use a small cloth bag or a recycled cardboard instead, or if you are on a budget, you can go back to number 1 where goodies bags are no longer needed to be provided by the host.
Happy Green Living (or Partying)!
- Just Like Our Green Idol: Brad Pitt
After having Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, and Lisa Simpson now we are having Brad Pitt as our Green Idol. Brad was twice nominated as ‘The Hottest Man Alive’ by People magazine. However, like many people say it’s the inside that counts. He proved to the world that he also has been hot on the trail of the emerging green-building movement, narrating a sustainable design TV series, and supporting Ed Norton’s Solar Neighbors Program.
He also has been leading an eco cause called Global Green USA’s Holy Cross Project, which is made to push the sustainable redevelopment of New Orleans after the Katrina.
That project will provide affordable-housing project, which will include five single-family homes, an 18-unit apartment building and a community centre. “What happened two years ago was a man-made disaster,†says Brad, “and this building offers a man-made solution.â€
1000 Green Steps believe that with more people going green through their green steps, we will be able to create a better living place on Earth

Boon Edam, a market leader in entrance technology, recently introduced the world’s first energy-generating revolving door as their green steps.
The door is part of the newly-refurbished Driebergen-Zeist railway station in the Netherlands. Architects and engineers designed the entire station with an eye toward energy conservation and sustainability.

- Ecotourism
Have you ever heard the term ‘ecotourism’? In case you’re not used to that term, the definition of ecotourism according to Wikipedia is travel to fragile, pristine, and usually protected areas that strives to be low impact and (often) small scale.
1000 Green Steps will recommend this to you because it has some positive benefits compared to ordinary travel journey.
Firstly, this kind of travel will allow tourists to enjoy and discover our nature and those travel agencies were still able to gain profit for that, but it will not let our environment left unprotected.
Another benefit of ecotourism is that this kind of travel will educate tourists about nature in its own unique, unexplainable, and active way. That will awake city people that everything is not always the same as what it says in the picture.
1000 Green Steps say: Make them feel it, and they will never forget it.
Happy Green Living!
Jewelry is a matter of personal taste, to each his or her own. There are many eco-friendly jewelry designs from vintage, repurposed, recycled; why not do green steps and look good at the same time! We would end up filling many less landfills while styling a knockout piece of jewelry. Some green steps are absolutely gorgeous. Make a statement that you are good to the planet as you accessorize. Here is one example of jewelry fashions for your green steps in an irresistible blend of function and style, some recycled wonders and some will make you wonder what they were thinking. This stunning Berry Coil bracelet is fashioned from Columbian red choclo seeds that are strung on an interior coil made of recycled Columbian pesos.
Happy Green Living!
