What are examples of typical projects?
Projects can be simple, individual efforts such as recycling your family’s trash, or larger group efforts requiring a lot of people-power, like organizing to clean up a major urban park. How about holding a food or clothing drive or helping at an animal shelter? Many Roots & Shoots groups help out at local senior centers, plant butterfly gardens, build bird houses, educate others about endangered species or promote practices to reduce household energy use. Any project that helps the human community, preserves the lives of animals or improves the environment, fits within the Roots & Shoots goals.
