Bus/Financial - International Org/Dev/Coop / Protection de l'environnement
English term or phrase: Find
*Learn* (titre)

*1. Find* (sous-titre)
WED is about the power of individual actions, and our exponential power when these actions are combined. And it works. Last year, activity registration from the WED community resulted in over $100,000 in contributions to gorilla protection in the host country, Rwanda. For WED 2011, we hope to surpass this with the planting of a new forest.
So take 5 minutes to find an activity or action from our A-Z or WED Pack that you can do at home, work, school or in your neighborhood to celebrate World Environment Day. It takes only a few simple steps to easily green your daily routine and make good eco behavior a habit!

Ça a l'air tout bête comme ça, mais comment traduiriez-vous ce sous-titre, le titre étant "Learn".
J'ai ensuite une liste de "Green tips", choses à faire et à ne pas faire pour moins gaspiller, polluer, mobiliser et sensibiliser les autres, etc.

Merci encore.

Explanation:
pr éviter de dire "trouver" car il s'agit bien de "trouver" ou "choisir" une activité ou action pour contribuer à la protection de l'environnement - à la célébration de la JME

Explanation:
Je ne le mettrais pas dans un glossaire parce que ça semble hors sujet, mais ici après "apprendre" ou "savoir" pour "learn" marquant la prise de conscience, la mise en application des "Green tips" et le choix d'activités me semblent relever de l'application des principes découverts précédemment

Évidemment on ne trouvera pas beaucoup de références sur le web de traductions de "find" par "appliquer"... Google n'est pas mon ami dans ce cas.
