If you're looking for fun ways to help the environment, look no further! Here are three ways you can make a difference.

Beach Clean-Ups

The United States has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, but sadly, many of them are littered with garbage. Not only does this take away the beauty of the beaches, but the trash ends up in the ocean. Plastics that go into the ocean harm the environment, wildlife, and humans. See if your community has weekly beach clean-ups, and join in on the fun! If you don't have a beach clean-up, you can organize one and get people excited about it in your community. Not only will your beaches look better, but you'll feel great about making a difference to the environment and wildlife.

Communal Solar Energy

Installing solar panels on a home may be a bit too costly for people to do on their own, but what about communal solar panels? Your community can invest in solar panels and the solar energy can disperse to local businesses and home. This will reduce the amount of non-renewable and harmful energy your community uses, and it brings the community together!

Plant Trees

What's more exciting than planting new life in your community? You could plant trees in your yard or at local parks and know that you're building a more beautiful community. Another idea would be to start a communal garden, where people from the community can plant their own vegetables and herbs, and share all of what grows.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
