Want to make a difference in your community？ Becoming a zero waste volunteer is the way to go!

Join a community garden

So many people don't know where their food comes from． Growing food by yourselves teaches you the true value of food． What's more， there is no need to pack the food you grow in the garden． Offer your time to help support a garden in your neighborhood． You'll get to meet all kinds of people there， and possibly begin a conversation about zero waste lifestyle．

Lead or join a neighborhood clean﹣up

Usually， litter left unattended （无人看管的） will pollute our water systems． Even worse， any litter （in the ocean or on the ground） can be eaten by animals． This causes them to die of hunger slowly and painfully． Getting a group together to pick up trash （垃圾） around the neighborhood is a great way to combatthis problem．

______

Going to a town hall meeting is a great idea． Because you can see and hear the problems in your community． Besides， you may even be able to speak at a town hall meeting as a guest speaker telling other people about zero waste lifestyle．

Organize a zero waste meeting

It's so important to have a support group filled with people who also love zero waste lifestyle． Although online community is great， it cannot compare to real life support groups． If you want to gather people in your neighborhood to talk all things about zero waste， consider organizing a meeting． Just choose a place to meet （a local cafe works well）， choose a date and time， and put up a notice on the Internet． You'll get surprises!
