Get involved!
Conservation doesn’t have to stop at the front door or the edge of the yard. Getting involved in community activities such as recycling drives and efforts to clean up local litter can be a great way to help the environment. Volunteering your time not only helps reduce the time and cost of action for conservation organizations, but also sets an example for others to step forward and volunteer as well.
If you can’t donate time, then donate money. Helping to fund nonprofit organizations at home or abroad can have a major impact on the environment by increasing these organizations' ability to conserve. Often donations are tax-deductible and do not have to be large. Even a dollar makes a difference if enough people get involved. Choosing an organization can be easy, too. For a comprehensive, alphabetical list of nonprofit organizations and their goals, visit
