The Environment – What can I do?

Start an environmental action group.
Action starts with people – with YOU. We can help you mobilize your community to take action on environmental issues where you live. Our educational programs are based on the premise that the environmental health of any community depends on the presence of an informed and active citizenry. We can help you begin a series of education classes so that you can take action on environmental issues where you live.
