One Green Step is an environmental non-profit, 501(c)(3), fully funded by donations, sponsorships, and grants.
Our Story
One Green Step was founded in 2023, but it really began in 2018. After learning about the truth of plastic recycling in sixth grade, our founder Samantha Liu began to wonder what she could do. From classes to late night googling to YouTube videos, she began gaining confidence that individual matters are still impactful.
So, Samantha created One Green Step after reimagining her environmental club at her school. Creating One Green Step allows for a broader impact beyond one school or community. We hope to inspire others to take climate action, and we are here to guide you through it. "One Green Step" embodies this realization that individual actions matter, which we hope will encourage people to take action and lessen their climate anxiety.
