Steppers GREEN Day | Monday, September 6

It's Okay To Be Green. Why Go GREEN?

In a nutshell, if we do not GO GREEN, our planet is in serious trouble. What can the Steppin community do? Celebrate GREEN Day with The Steppers Club on Monday (Labor Day) September 6 for Jeans & Green Day. How? Bring your old electronics (cell phones, old computers, CDs, DVDs, CD players, old stereos, 8-tracks (LOL!), plastic water bottles (if you are not going to recycle plastic bottles, please use filters and glasses instead), newspapers, magazines, etc. to our host hotel, Marriott Gateway (Atlanta Airport) so these items can be recycled. Then wear your GREEN Day shirt with your jeans to show your support of helping to save our Planet.

Other reasons to GO GREEN:

Nature Recycles Everything. Steppers Should Also.
Making proper use of the blue recycling bin has become an iconic action. Reducing the amount of stuff we consume is the first step (and the first word in the mantra reduce-reuse-recycle), finding constructive uses for "waste" materials is the second. Why? Nothing is ever really thrown "away" -- it all has to go somewhere. By recycling and reusing, we reduce the amount of waste that sits in landfills (where even biodegradable products often can’t break due to lack or oxygen and sunlight). Recycling materials also saves energy compared to using virgin materials to create new products. Some materials, like aluminum and glass, can even be recycled without being "downcycled," or turned into a product of lesser quality. See our How to Go Green: Recycling guide for more details.

Water is not a renewable resource.
Clean water is perhaps the planet's most precious resource, and, with the increasing effects of global climate change, for many regions across the globe, our ability to have enough high-quality H20 on hand could likely to change in the near future. Being water conscious helps reduce strain on municipal treatment systems and ensures there's enough to go around. By shifting away from bottled water, we can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions (from shipping), the energy required to produce (petroleum-derived) plastic, and the volume of waste trucked to our landfills (from empty bottles).
