We can recycle, walk to work, and limit plastics, but often it's not clear how else we can help the Earth. Individually, it's tough for any one person to make a big difference - but collectively, we can band together to create meaningful, lasting change.
One way to do so is investing in companies with a mission to improve the environment - whether that's through solar energy, sustainable farming, or durable clothing.
