  • Assist Captain Planet
  • Give out organic popcorn
  • Distribute Earth Day T-shirts
  • Help out with the Clothing Swap and Office Supply Exchange
  • And much more!

There are several different activities to choose from throughout the day, and the minimum commitment is one hour. No prior experience is required.
