Big change starts with small steps, and your actions matter. Whether it’s helping at a cleanup, sharing your story, there’s a place for you.

  • Encourage people to start small:

    • Pick up litter on daily walks

    • Join a local garden

    • Help maintain trails

    • Assist with recycling drives

  • Local action builds everyday stewardship and makes sustainably tangible

  • Start where you are

  • Encourage joining existing events:

    • Community cleanups

    • Park restoration projects

  • Host your own events with friends and family, like a mini cleanup day or a clothes swap for sustainable fashion

  • Change grows stronger when we act together
