Much like caring for our bodies with regular meals, exercise, and sleep, looking after our Earth takes consistent work from all of us; from the corporate high-flyers in high-rise buildings to the daily commuting ever-busy 9 to 5 crowd. Depending on where you fall in that continuum, the realm of possibility (in other words, your time, and resources) for giving back to the environment may vary drastically.
