For some, going out into the wilderness and helping clean up the environment has its rewards. But in the summertime here in Florida, it seems just about impossible to lend a helping hand for an outdoor activity in the sticky, sweltering heat.

You can even help organize a local green expo that takes place indoors so that people can be proactive about taking care of the outdoors while staying cool.
