The Glee Team Make their #PowerOfOne Pledges – What’s Yours?
This Glee, visitors and exhibitors are being encouraged to join the Power of One movement; an international UN-backed initiative designed to demonstrate how a combination of small, individual changes can create a more sustainable future for all. The organising team behind Glee have already made their pledges and are asking others to proudly declare their own ‘one small thing’ commitment.
The Power of One movement is all about committing to making a conscious change to reduce our impact upon the environment and the world in which we live. Pledges could include anything from promising to recycle more, choosing bio-degradable alternatives, or refraining from using single use plastics. Together these singular commitments add up to a much bigger and stronger impact; one that can help lead a positive change.
Showing your support at Glee for the initiative couldn’t be easier – simply visit the Power of One wall to make your pledge. All you need to do is snap a shot of yourself in front of the wall, share it on social media, along with your pledge. As a little way of saying thank you, ‘pledgers’ will receive a free reusable water bottle, supplied by Glee exhibitor and Power of One partner, Summit International.
You can also join in the conversation on social media by following #PowerOfOne, #Glee19 and #GleeBirmingham.
The Glee team make their pledges
Here is just a selection of the pledges made by the Glee organising team – let them inspire you to make similar choices.

- Be more conscious about the brands I invest in and the items that I buy. #ActuallyIcan #PowerOfOne

- My pledge is to recycle as much as I can and to only drink from my reusable bottle. #PassItOn #PowerOfOne #BringYourOwn
- My pledge is to wrap up warm and turn down the heating at home. #TurnItDown #PowerOfOne
- My Pledge is to cycle more and avoid polluting the environment #ActuallyICan #PowerOfOne
- My pledge is to live by the ’30 use challenge’, if I don’t think I’ll use or wear something at least 30 times, think twice about buying! #ActuallyICan #PowerOfone
Together we can make a difference!
