The Forever Green Community Action Project is designed to build awareness, interest and respect for our world.  Girl Scouts in Maine and nationwide have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the environment through activities and advocacy programs they design and implement themselves!  Their actions can be at the forefront of environmental sustainability, leading schools and communities in using resources wisely – in making the world a better place.

Pledge for the Planet: A Virtual Event on April 10th, 2010

Let’s shake things up in Maine by pledging to join other Girl Scouts statewide to make a difference for the environment!   The Pledge for the Planet Virtual Event is scheduled for April 10th - the 100th day of the 100th year of Girl Guiding.  To participate, you could choose to replace all your old light bulbs with energy-efficient ones,  plant a tree, walk instead of traveling by car, or limit yourself to only 5 gallons of water for the day.  Share the results of your pledge with Girl Scouts of Maine and receive a patch made of recycled materials.               

Community Involvement
Focus on a project in your school or community that is designed to improve air quality, waste management, save energy, conserve water, or green space.  Look for ideas in the It’s Your Planet – Love It Journeys.
