Take action within your community by organizing a recycling scavenger hunt. If you need some inspiration, check out this example from our partners at Live Thrive Atlanta.

Do you see something in your community that you feel needs to change? Then take the lead an make it happen by spreading the word and starting a petition. If you get enough support, take your message and signatures to a town meeting. That’s what they are for! You can organize a petition through change.org

Take charge and start your own service project. With a creative eye you start to notice spots in nature within your community that can be turned into natural seating. Options can be made from logs, tree stumps, or even rocks. Remember to be careful and to ask for permission if required from local park service.

Food pantries do not always offer items for special occasions like birthdays or Valentines Day. Organize your own “party box” donation drive where you collect things like cake mix, frosting, birthday candles, and decorative paper plates. Then decorate recycled boxes from leftover wrapping paper that matches the theme of the box and donate to a food pantry.

A great way to help shelter animals find new homes is to make their photos look like the best representation possible. If you have a camera and love taking pictures, sign up to be on call for taking these animal photos. Solicit donations for cute animal props (sweaters, collars, grooming supplies, etc.) to help the animals look great in their photos. You could possibly even make a calendar from the best photos for the shelter to sell and raise money!
