You have given some wonderful ideas, Kelli! Thank you for the insight! -Elizabeth || - Educate the community about the importance of trees in the environment- ie. the carbon oxygen cycle. -Educate yourself first & then share your knowledge with others in blogs, social media, etc... || - Get teens involved with volunteering and interacting with the shut ins (elderly) and homeless. -Everytime you see a homeless person, give them a gospel tract & a dollar (we do this in our family) || - Get the word out about how drugs destroy families and lives. -Have someone who struggles with drug abuse come and talk to the teens and share their story. || - Get in touch with your mayor or town manager & discuss the need for a recycling center. -Have people contact local gov. & share their concerns. || - Arrange a group of individuals to go around and clean up a park or street. -Start a group called the "litter exterminators" to get rid of litter bugs. || - Get in touch with local government and "adopt a highway" or road or street... - Get active & your friends involved; there is power in numbers. || - High levels of Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which is believed to cause global warming could be associated with deforestation. -Educate the community and loggers. || - Carpooling- this is when a group get together and ride to work etc... - Arrange carpooling groups among the community. ||

-You could possible call your government official and ask how you can help with the problem or ask how to get the issue addressed -Get a local road/paving company involved in raising money to fix the roads near your home. ||  ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||   ||
