Haven’t made any new year’s resolutions yet? We’ve got an idea.

Along with cities and micro-EV companies like Bird, many important nonprofits and other groups are working to reduce traffic congestion and promote cleaner, healthier modes of transportation all around the world. 

If you’ve got time, expertise or resources to donate in the new year to help make communities more sustainable, here are some organizations that will put your support to good use.
