Green Acts of Kindness: Let it Grow

Making the world a better place isn’t limited to protecting Earth’s physical resources: We’ve got to improve the person-to-person environment too. This week’s tips are about how to treat your fellow humans a little bit better with actions that just happen to help the planet too.

Tip #3: Let it grow.

With that stark possibility that in mind, make efforts to beautify the spaces around you with bursts of life. Do you know of a bare piece of soil? Make it blossom! You, too, can be a guerrilla gardener or a seed bomber.

Short on time? Greening your surroundings can be as simple as buying a pretty plant and leaving it anonymously on someone’s doorstep.
