Green Steps offers Rotarians meaningful ways to serve by supporting Rotary’s newest Area of Focus—the environment. For the Rotary E‑Club of Central Texas, these steps allow members to participate in service individually while still creating collective impact. Every small action counts, and together they add up to real change.
Green Step #1: Reduce plastic waste by carrying a reusable water bottle and shopping bag.
Green Step #2: Observe Meatless Monday to lessen the environmental impact of meat production.
Green Step #3: Plant pollinator‑friendly plants. Replacing grass reduces mowing, watering, fertilizing, and pesticide use—great news for bees.
Green Step #4: Practice mindful mowing by waiting until wildflowers have gone to seed.
Green Step #5: Leave the leaves on the ground to support soil health and wildlife habitat.
Green Step #6: Show respect and reverence for Mother Earth—walk softly, leave no trace, feast responsibly, and consider the impact on future generations.
Green Step #7: Plant a tree.
Green Step #8: “Lunch Local for Love”—support local farmers’ markets and small growers.
Green Step #9: Turn lights off at night to protect migrating birds.
Bonus Step: Be kind to bees!
Green Steps is how members of the Rotary E‑Club of Central Texas serve the environment from wherever they live. By taking small, intentional actions, Rotarians can make a big difference—together.
