Get Involved - Agency

You can get involved and take simply actions to help protect Missouri's air, water, and land and geology. Whether picking up litter, conserving water at home or riding your bike instead of taking a short drive, every one of us can make a difference. Plus, did you know that volunteering is linked to happiness, health, and career benefits? Pick a DIY project, one-time event, or a supported program that creates community among volunteers. Start small and add effort where you find reward and joy.

Simple, fun activities you can do on your own

• Pick up trash in your neighborhood
• Sweep grass clippings and leaves so they don't pollute nearby lakes or streams
• Sweep up trash, leaves and dirt around the storm drains on your street
• Dedicate a row in your garden for the local food shelf
• Organize a swapping party for clothes, toys or books
• Help a neighbor in need with outdoor chores that benefit the environment, like picking up pet waste, bringing yard waste to the compost site, or turning the compost pile
