[Get Involved Tuesdays] Green Volunteers

Are you looking for ways to get involved in your community and help the world at large? Do you want to save animals, keep trees alive, maintain parks and public spaces, or get rid of all the ridiculous waste in your life (including your ex-boyfriend who keeps texting you)?

Take a look at this article on GreenBiz.com. It lists all types of environmental volunteer opportunities: overseas, on the political scene, at green festivals, and so on. The most valuable resource I found was Treehugger, which, like Idealist.org, lists environmental volunteer opps.

So get to researchin'. I can't guarantee that taking on one of these volunteer gigs will help get rid of all those annoying text messages from what's-his-face, but you'll definitely feel like you're doing you're part to save the world, even if just a little bit.
