Volunteering

A gift of your time is a great way to give back and help the environment. No matter what cause aligns with your values there are many wonderful organizations that help support nature, woodlands, wetlands, wildlife, the ocean, and animals. If organized efforts are not your thing there are many great ways to volunteer as a solo effort so if you are not a joiner don’t let that stop you from doing good things. If you are doing amazing things people will follow, just look at Greta Thundberg!
