Get In Step: Join the 12 Step Program
by  thinkMTV

Are you ready to commit to changing? Join Break the Addiction's 12-step, 12-month action plan to fight global warming and the effects of over-consumption in your environment and your world. Each month, learn new ways to make a big impact.

STEP 1 - May - EXAMINE YOURSELF
Everyone's actions contribute to global warming. How addicted are you? Educate yourself about the biggest crisis your generation will face, and find out how you can take control of it.
Recognize the problem and commit to becoming a part of the solution!

STEP 2 - June - CHOOSE WISELY
It's all about making smarter choices. Small changes to our daily habits can have a major impact and don't have to mean sacrificing the things we care about.
Get started with simple ways to decrease your impact today and every day.

STEP 3 - July - BECOME INDEPENDENT
Celebrate your environmental independence! Stop relying on non-renewable resources and start thinking about how you can lead the green revolution.
Check out these eco-trailblazers and get inspired.

STEP 4 - August - "RE-ENERGIZE" YOUR SPACE
Feng shui the eco way! You don't have to wait for large companies to change their energy policies to start saving the environment. Start with your own space.
Change the way you live today to change the world!

STEP 5 - Sept - TRANSPORT BETTER
We're all going somewhere, but some of us are moving smarter than others. And while September marks a return to school, it doesn't have to mean a return to bad habits that pollute our environment.
Move smarter and leave that carbon footprint behind!

STEP 6 - Oct - GET POLITICAL
This election, vote with your environmental conscience. Learn what candidates have to say about issues effecting the environment. Your approval matters to them, so make your voice heard.
Advocate for political action on environmental legislation today

STEP 7 - Nov - GO PAPERLESS
In an age of infinite technological possibility, paper is passe. Skip it whenever possible and if you must use paper, make sure it's recyclable.
Learn how to reduce your paper consumption today!

STEP 8 - Dec - SHOP SMARTER
Use your spending power to show your commitment to ending global warming. Opt for eco-friendly, organic, recycled products that don't contribute to the problem.
Become a smarter shopper now!

STEP 9 - January - GO HEALTHY
By deciding to live a more eco-friendly lifestyle, you benefit the health of our environment, that of millions of people around you, AND you're also doing something positively healthy for yourself! What are you waiting for?
Start living greener now!

STEP 10 - February - LOVE, PROTECT, AND PRESERVE
This February 14th, make Mother Earth your valentine. Reflect on how you have treated her in the past and finally pledge to protect her from harm. Commit to our planet. It's the only one we have.
Spread the love!

STEP 11 - March - CONSIDER AN ALTERNATIVE
This Spring Break, do something a little different. Take an Alternative Spring Break and travel to regions affected by global warming, or get involved in local, national and international environmental activism.
March for a greener planet!

STEP 12 - April - CELEBRATE YOUR IMPACT
Congrats! Earth day 2007 marks the year anniversary of your breaking the addiction. Celebrate your success with a renewed commitment to fighting global warming everyday. You've already changed the way you live. Now encourage your friends and family to join your eco-crusade.
Planet Earth thanks you!
