Eco Action Specifics


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.
