Use the hour to team up with a local environmental group for a project close to home. It’s fun, fosters connection, and gives you an instant feeling of accomplishment!

Volunteer to restore a wildlife habitat, clean up a beach, or plant bee-friendly shrubs with other like-minded locals. Or, donate an hour at your local community garden (if your area has one) and get a hands-on education from seasoned veggie gardeners.

Bonus: volunteering isn’t just good for the planet. Studies show that environmental volunteerism is linked to positive physical health and mental wellbeing.
