Environmental stewardship may start in your own back yard, but it doesn’t have
to end there.
Getting involved in your community means doing the little things — everything
from picking up trash in your local park to cleaning up after your pets when out
on a walk. It also means volunteering for and supporting programs that support
habitat restoration, clean streets and shorelines, and community gardens.
Quality of life in Seattle is more dependent on a robust urban ecosystem than it
is on other factors. Look into opportunities to serve your community and save
your environment.
