Environmental issues are never simple to explain - climate change, desertification, renewable energy, the ecosystem, etc. But solving these complex issues depends on an important factor: You. Get involved. Volunteer to become active agents of change. Help communities understand that their attitudes towards environmental issues are crucial in reversing global warming. Become an advocate. Empower people to become active in achieving environmental sustainability.

In this section we are presenting the contributions volunteers are making to protect the environment. It does not matter if it's collecting garbage for a day on Syria's beaches, monitoring weather satellites in Hawaii or tracking tsunami donations for Southeast Asian countries -- there's no big or small work in achieving sustainable environment. Every volunteer work counts.
