Rules
๐ The Green Code (a.k.a. The Rules)
Because saving the planet works better when weโre kind, cool, and a little compost-smart.
1. Respect People, Plants & Places
Treat everyone โ from fellow volunteers to local community members โ with kindness and respect. And yes, that includes the trees. No leaf-pulling!
2. Show Up & Suit Up
Be punctual, prepared, and ready to roll. Wear comfy clothes, closed shoes, and bring that reusable water bottle like the eco-warrior you are.
3. Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
Weโre big on collaboration. Lend a hand, share your ideas, and donโt be afraid to get your hands dirty โ literally and figuratively.
4. Stay Safe & Smart
Follow safety guidelines during activities. Use tools responsibly, hydrate often, and don't try to hug a cactus (trust us on this one).
5. Keep It Green
Practice what we preach:
Recycle
Reduce waste
Turn off lights & taps
Eat your veggies (optional but encouraged)
6. No Eco-Bullying, Ever
No discrimination, harassment, or bad vibes. This is a safe, inclusive space for all.
7. Social Media With Soul
Feel free to share your experience โ just be respectful of others and always ask before posting pics of people. Bonus points for clever eco-captions ๐๐ธ
8. Substance-Free Zone
No drugs or alcohol during project hours (or on the premises). We get high on fresh air and tree sap.
9. Speak Up, Kindly
Have an idea? Concern? Weird but wonderful suggestion? Talk to the coordinator. Weโre all ears (and leaves).
10. Have Fun, But Stay Focused
Yes, we love laughter. Yes, we love purpose. This is your chance to grow, give back, and green the world โ one smile (and shovel) at a time.
