When the subject of giving something back to a community comes up, many people forget about the environment.
But giving back to the great outdoors is a great way to improve your community while enjoying some fresh air and soaking up some sun.
For those who want to give back to their community while helping the environment, there are a number of ways to do just that.
Park clean-up: State and local parks rely on volunteers to perform a number of tasks that are ideal for nature enthusiasts who want to give back to the environment.
Beach clean-up: Just like parks, beaches need cleanup, and communities often rely on volunteers to keep beaches clean, particularly in the offseason. People who keep the shores clean play an important role in cleaning up.
Advocacy: Environmental advocacy is another way eco-conscious men, women and children can give back to the environment. Nonprofit groups are always in need of volunteers who are willing to help educate others about issues facing the environment. Groups are both local and national, and advocacy groups help inform people.
