REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
Think before you buy; is it really needed? How can you use things over and over again? If you can't reuse something, can it be recycled?
SAVE WATER
You can conserve water by turning off the faucet when you brush your teeth or wash dishes. Take shorter showers.
TURN IT OFF
Lights and electronics use a lot of energy; If you're not using something, turn it off.
USE YOUR CAR WISELY OR WALK/RIDE A BIKE
Don't let your car idle when parked, turn off your engine until you're ready to ride again. Consider using public transportation, walking, or riding a bike.
CHOOSE ORGANIC AND LOCALLY GROWN FOODS
Support your local farmers and economy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles needed to transport food. Organic foods are free from pesticides and fertilizers which can be harmful to our environment.
USE FERTILIZERS AND PESTICIDES CAUTIOUSLY
Runoff from lawn fertilizers can be damaging to rivers, lakes, and oceans, and the animals and plants that live in those habitats. Make wise choices about your yard. Think of the earth first.
PLANT A TREE

ONE Journey, Inc. was founded and incorporated in 2005 as a non-profit organization dedicated to conservation and the education and empowerment of today's youth to be ambassadors for the preservation of wildlife and the environment. We recognize that all children, regardless of race, religion, or social status have the ability to bring about limitless change. At the heart of ONE Journey's mission is the belief that we must foster an attitude of self worth and empower todays youth to become tomorrow's leaders; both within our local communities and around the world.
This organization was formed by a consensual agreement of the founding members. Our focus is on conservation and humanitarian needs locally in Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio, and internationally in regions of Southeast Asia. In particular, special attention will be paid to specific border communities whom would benefit the most from conservation education and development of alternative monetary options. This will be accomplished by enlisting local youth to make global connections, both human and animal alike, through educational outreach programs.
