Everyone who has either owned property or rented an apartment has learned the importance of taking care of their home. However, this rule shouldn’t apply to one’s residential space only, but to the planet as a whole. Earth is home to an estimated 7.89 billion people. But instead of giving back to this home, many people take it for granted and forget to do their part in taking care of the planet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earth Day is a chance to change this by using the holiday to do something good for the planet. Make a future plan to do something that will benefit the environment. Maybe commit to taking shorter showers, learn more about recycling, volunteer with a local environmental organization, or consider biking and walking when possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

GrantWatch<\/a> has a category specifically for grants for the environment<\/a>. And to celebrate Earth Day on April 22nd, GrantWatch is sharing 10 of the top environment grants currently available below. All of these grants include funding to go toward programs that promote environmentally sustainable workplaces, neighborhoods, and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
