| BUILDING A GREEN COMMUNITY PLAN Building community is important! For your own personal emotional growth and for the community you live in! One of the most important items on the Get Your Green On Health Philosophy is the Building A Green Community Plan. Volunteering and working with others in the community is an essential way to stay connected with community, strengthen your emotional health and foster a positive mental attitude. Community building allows you to invest in environmental health and beauty by improving your neighborhood, building relationships , and evangelizing all levels of health and caring relationships. It also improves your health by getting you off that couch and out into the community where you can share and build unique friendships which can last a lifetime. It's good for everyone!! One of the easiest ways to grow your community is to form your own organization or join an existing one. I prefer to join environmental organizations because I can then combine my outdoor health plan with groups that are already centered on outdoor activities. On this page you'll see several photos of a few groups I have become involved with from my local community. It brings me a lot of satisfaction to think that my effort combines with others to really help the community and environment. I have also gained friends who have enriched my life and made me feel a part of something special - it has rewarded me on a deeply emotional level. You can feel this way too. I encourage you to volunteer and build a network of supportive friends in your community. The result will be A Healthy World and A Healthy You! |
