Remove Invasive Species

Removing invasive species (species that are not naturally found in my area and can outcompete native plants) can help beautify nature around me and protect local biodiversity.

Soil and Food

Compost My Food Waste

Composting turns waste into a resource, building soil health and cutting methane emissions from landfills. I will compost food scraps at home, school, or in my community, which avoids sending up to 0.42 lbs (0.19 kg) of food waste to the landfill per day.

    Last year, I subscribed to "Who Gives A Crap" for our home toilet paper supply. Every day, over one million trees are cut down to make traditional toilet paper – but these rolls are made with 100% bamboo paper, so they help reduce deforestation! Also, access to clean water and a toilet could save 1.4 million lives per year. That’s why this organization donates 50% of their profits to water, sanitation and hygiene organizations.
