8 Ways to Get Involved
1. Volunteer with the National Park Service
National Parks are places of wondrous beauty for people to visit, and to keep them environmentally intact. To do so, the National Park Service (NPS) depends on its employees, interns and volunteers. Imagine waking up and going to “work” at the Grand Canyon, the Everglades or Glacier National Park! As a volunteer you can assist with tasks such as trail repair, habitat restoration, animal monitoring, litter collection and a host of other duties to fit your personal tastes.
2. Teach Kids to Recycle
Get kids recycling early on by implementing a program at a school or day care. Gather support from parents and teachers to educate kids on the importance of recycling plastic bottles or school supplies such as paper and crayons. Yes, crayons! Petroleum-based wax crayons never biodegrade, but Crazy Crayons, accepts old crayons and makes them into new ones.
