I'm speaking about the things that might be outside of lifestyle & consumer choices and habits.

Would you (or do you) volunteer time & energy if something was explained, to your satisfaction, as being valuable?

I do the normal things like picking up trash etc. But as you stated IF the planning was valuable and not a temporary solution without long term goals, NO.

I'm surprised by only a single response, so far, to the question.

I wanted to make it clear that I wasn't putting forward a 'trick question' intended to snag people into volunteering for something that I had in mind. Just wanted to know whether, outside of consumer choices, people had a vounteering attitude toward environmental improvement.

Anyway, in my neck of the woods, there don't seem to be too many of these organized efforts to volunteer for. We have a yearly clean-up of areas in my town every April, usually involving groups such as scouts or corporations which have put together a team. And we have a local adopt-a-garden program, where people and/or groups can volunteer to beautify corners or curbsides, etc. - just little touches here and there around the town.

But other than that, there's not much going on. So now, lol, I'm sure you're going to ask why I don't get involved in organizing such things. Time. (I work 4 jobs in summer!) But I have been organizing enviromentally-oriented programs/talks at my local library, so I try to do my part in spreading the word.

And yes, I think if an environmentally worthwhile volunteer opportunity came up, I do think I would volunteer, time and schedule permitting.
