Today I took my first step toward volunteering locally. I have been searching for like-minded people in my local area to work with on eco projects and education. I made contact with a person today who is organizing an Eco Fest this fall about forty minutes from where I live. She is also being the contact person who is trying to connect like-minded people in the area with each other. I am going to be meeting with some people locally to explore the idea of starting a community garden in our area. I’m so excited! Stay tuned for updates.
