Pick up litter or organize a community cleanup! | Tuesday, April 27
Did you know the average American either walks by or drives by 1200 pieces of litter a day and that roughly 80% of all litter found in the oceans first generated from land?
Litter is becoming an extremely harmful issue to human health, wildlife, and marine life as well as the overall environment. Much of the littered items remain in the environment for many years and in some cases for hundreds.
Some of the most littered items include plastic bags, cigarette butts, and plastic straws. The good thing about the litter issue is it's one of the easiest to remedy. Take a walk to your local park or around the block and pick up any litter you see along the way or organize a community cleanup. Feel like you would like to adopt a location to keep clean then please visit our Adopt a Program link below.
Volunteer:
As an environmental volunteer, your impact could help ensure the long-term survival of all life on earth. This is because you are actively participating in the conservation of that area or species. Your participation as an environmental volunteer can also make an indirect impact in many ways.
Check with your local parks, schools, city government, churches, and civic groups for volunteer opportunities locally, and even check with larger organizations on how you might be able to volunteer internationally to help those communities in a much greater need.
