DIY Local Clean-Up!
While organized clean up events have been trashed (pun intended) during the COVID-19 outbreak, this doesn't mean that you can't still help to improve your community's environmental health! Create your own local clean up by grabbing any garbage/plastic bags you have, your work/yard gloves, and getting outside to pick up litter! For more resources and ideas of how best to do this (while adhering to the CDC's guidelines for safety and social distancing), check out the links below!
Oceans
Join a Cleanup Effort

Explore My Area

REFLECTION QUESTIONClimate Choose Renewable Energy or Purchase Renewable Energy CreditsYour utility company is able to tell you your average energy usage. Ask them how your energy usage compares to others in your ZIP code, region, and/or state. What other steps can you take each day to reduce your electricity usage?

Luanne luanne.hogan@anokaramsey.edu 4/17/2020 2:48 PMPutting on gloves and walking the neighborhood picking up garbage feels great! Not much going on that is more exciting at the moment!-
Victoria Downey 4/21/2020 2:33 PMHaha, that is the truth! Our neighborhood is suspiciously clean right now, and I suspect it's because it's the most exciting thing anyone can think to do.
