Background
The environment needs our protection. 40% of American rivers are now too polluted for swimming, fishing, or aquatic life. In the US, factories produce 3 million tons of toxic air annually.
Many nonprofits exist to teach how to be green and respect the environment. Living in a sustainable way and teaching future generations the importance of protecting the environment is crucial.
If you already realize the importance of a green lifestyle, teach others by encouraging recycling and composting, or by planting a tree on earth day. Find a nonprofit near you to join the cause.
