Small Act=Big Result

I want to make the Hispanic community aware of the issues we are facing in our planet. By teaching and educating from the children to the elderly that doesn’t speak English. We need more information; sadly campaigns in TV are not enough and are not in our language most of the time. I want to provide pamphlets(eco-friendly) and lessons in Spanish that will teach our community small changes that could make significant effects in our planet. For instance, green products are usually high in price and are not accessible for everybody, including for myself. By showing our community natural alternatives and ideas for the everyday life that can help to save the planet, and at the same time, save their budgets. We can make them aware that we don’t have to break the bank in order to help our planet. Start with a small act at the time in order to achieve the big result. Everything will help, nothing is ever enough for our battle in saving this planet. We have to go out there to educate and teach the Hispanic community. Education is the key for success.

True, for this idea to take hold it must be seen as not only a "rich white" issue. We are all in this together.

Translation is key but so is getting Hispanic media, radio, TV and companies that advertise to the community to "buy in"

Si se puede .... stop global warming ;-)

A good start would be to find a survey on people's opinions on the environment taken in different countries. See if an education gap exists. If there is a gap, you can present that data when you ask for donations or investors down the road, for an educational campaign.
