8. PLANT A
COMMUNITY GARDEN
Whether in the neighborhood or in the surrounding area,
community gardens improve the ecosystem and promote
sustainable agriculture. For residents, it's an opportunity to get
some physical activity and connect with neighbors and nature.
For the community, these gardens boost access to fresh foods
and can upgrade and beautify abandoned lots.
7. HOST A COMMUNITY
RECYCLING EVENT
Educate residents and offer additional resources to reduce,
reuse, and recycle. Talk with your homeowners to get a feel for
what they want to do, then create a recycling event that helps
meet their goals. Popular recycling event ideas include:
• Establishing community drop-off centers for old computers,
TVs, and other electronics.
• Cleaning up parks and other common areas and going
to the local recycling center to drop off collected bottles,
glass, plastic, and paper.
• Collecting old toys, clothes, books, furniture, and
other household items to donate to a local charitable
organization.
