- tip of the day
- Did Earth Week's festivities leave you yearning for more?
- the bite
- Help ingrain the "Earth Day, Every Day" mantra of the Biters with a feel-good tool of the trade - volunteerism. No matter your schedule, skills or savvy, there are hundreds of environmental organizations waiting for someone like you.
- the benefits
-
- Keep it local... and beautiful. Give back to the community with neighborhood park clean ups - a great way to spend the day outside.
- Channel your inner activist. Take action on environmental issues that matter to you, from preserving ocean wildlife to stopping global warming.
- Work with children and teens by joining local organizations, which work to educate the public on organic food growing and environmental issues.
- All the cool kids are doing it. Earth Day Networks estimates that 500 million people from 4,500 organizations in 180 countries will participate in Earth Day events during the month of April.
- personally speaking
- Aside from the obvious, our mothers always preached to us one great benefit of participating in volunteer opportunities: the chance to meet quality men. (Of course the validity of that theory has yet to be proven).
- wanna try?
-
- Stop Global Warming - the easiest way we've found to be heard. Join the virtual march - if we get enough of you Biters to sign up, Laurie David will hand Leonardo DiCaprio a Biter tee...
