Seriously, you should get involved.

Don't you ever get the urge to make a difference? To matter? To stand up for something that you truly believe in. A cause that you want to be a part of.

These days, it seems to be the cool thing to stand up for what you believe in. So since all the cool kids are doing it, you should too.

Here are just a few non-profits having to do with sustainability. Check it out:

The International Union for Conservation of Nature: http://www.iucn.org/

IUCN, the International Union for Conservation of Nature, helps the world find pragmatic solutions to our most pressing environment and development challenges. It supports scientific research, manages field projects all over the world and brings governments, non-government organizations, United Nations agencies, companies and local communities together to develop and implement policy, laws and best practice.

National Wildlife Foundation: http://www.nwf.org/

The National Wildlife Federation is America's largest conservation organization. They work with more than 4 million members, partners and supporters in communities across the country to protect and restore wildlife habitat, confront global warming and connect with nature.

The Green Design Institute: http://www.ce.cmu.edu/GreenDesign/

The Green Design Institute is a major interdisciplinary education and research effort to make an impact on environmental quality through green design. The central idea of the institute is to form partnerships with companies, government agencies and foundations to develop pioneering management, manufacturing, and regulatory processes that can improve environmental quality and product quality while enhancing economic development. Through the Green Design Institute, they are solving problems and building tools that help businesses accomplish more with less. Their focus is on developing practical pollution prevention technologies and lowering costs, by recycling scarce resources, using fewer raw materials and creating better products.

Although these are international non-profits, there are guaranteed to be several local non-profits in your area. And even if it doesn't have to do with environmental sustainability, it is still important to volunteer. Give back to your community.
