Ways You Can Help Protect the Earth Locally

Volunteer for, or donate to, organizations that conservation organizations such as the Rocky Mountain Field Institute, the Trails and Open Space Coalition, or the Colorado Springs Food Rescue.

If you are able, ride a bike, walk, or carpool to work. National Bike Month is in May and Colorado Bike Month is in June with the Annual Bike to Work Day being the 4th Wednesday of the Month.

Plant a garden or grow small herbs in your kitchen. Pikes Peak Urban Gardens is an independent non-profit that was established back in 2007 and
since then has been dedicated to growing, and teaching how to grow fresh, organic food locally.

Visit organizations and businesses that are waste conscious such as Who Gives a Scrap. Who Gives a Scrap is a creative reuse center and scrap store that boasts zero waste!
