Green Ambassador (GA) Certificate

The “Take-Make-Waste” economy is at a tipping point. We need to counter irresponsible practices and a culture of convenience that is depleting resources faster than they are replenished and endangering all species through human created emissions and pollution. We need ambassadors that drive net zero thinking and stewardship to interact with the planet responsibly.

Are you passionate about environmental sustainability? Do you want to understand and address the issues being faced, to make a meaningful impact in your community? Sustainability is not a destination, but a process of reflecting on actions and adapting strategies as needed. 

We have exciting news about a Green Ambassador Certificate community education series created by One Earth One Chance, in partnership with the University of Texas, Dallas, JSOM, and several cities in the DFW metroplex. This will address the need for environmental sustainability education in the community and raise awareness about sustainable choices that make a difference, as an individual or organization. 

Register for the learning classes on the second Saturday of each month, 10:30 am - 11:30 am (parking passes are available for the UTD location). The 12 modules will be taught in-person by experts from various sectors and will also be available from an online learning platform. Each module covers challenges, solutions, regulations, success stories, actions surveys, and interactive exercises. Completion of the quizzes will yield a certificate available for display in social media. Watch the promo video for more details on the Green Ambassador certificate. 

Optionally, join a litter cleanup, prior to each workshop, from 8:30 am - 9:30 am, at a park close by. Help us protect our parks and wildlife, keep our waterways clean, learn environmental responsibility, and build a healthier community. Children under the age of 11 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Any organization (e.g. schools/colleges, cities, nonprofits, corporations) can compete for annual awards based on the number of events and number of certificates completed and receive service hours for their time.

Remote attendance option for GA Workshops is available after registration. Your support for future tree plantings will be appreciated; use the Donate link. Contact us at learn@oneearthonechance.org for questions. Register using the Event links below:
