Cool Choice Sticker: Saving the planet one choice at a time.


From environmental artist Lynne Hull:

I have created “Cool Choice” stickers to be posted where anyone

seeing the “prompt” sticker has a small lifestyle choice to make and

the sticker reminds us of which choice helps save energy and reduce global warming:

Using a push door instead of an electric one, using stairs instead of elevators, driving a fuel efficient car, taking the bus, eating local organic food, riding a bike, and many more.

I invite businesses, government entities and community members

to participate in posting stickers where these lifestyle changes

can have a positive effect. Audubon Colorado invites you to

sign up on their website to receive occasional information

updates on climate change issues and actions you can take.

Guidelines:

1. Send SASE for stickers to Cool Choice, PO Box 1239, Fort Collins, Colorado 80522

Or coolchoice@eco-art.org. Stay updated at http://coolchoicesticker.blogspot.com

2. research or imagine a place to post your sticker

3. get permission to post it (this informs and involves more people in the action)

4. Post and photograph it and send to coolchoice@eco-art.org for posting

5. Take the pledge: follow through on using the “cool choices” you and others post

6. Sign up for action alerts on climate change at: http://audubonaction.org/campaign/climateactionpledge

7. Extra credit: work with a large building owner, corporation big box store, factory, or government entity, to inventory their products & post stickers regarding their organizational ecology, merchandise/product ecology, or do a general environmental assessment of their place and process. Effluent & waste is lost income for the company!
