There are plenty of ways to "go green," and sometimes the little steps can make a big difference.

For Earth Month, TODAY is challenging viewers and fans to share the #OneGreenThing they're doing to help the planet. To spread the love, we're also asking people to tag friends they'd like to see join in.

Want to join the challenge, but don't know where to start?

Take our interactive quiz to help discover #OneGreenThing you can do, and take a look at some of the folks who've participated so far for inspiration.

Here are some ideas!

Compost food scraps

Nick & I have really taken to #composting this past year. Our #garden thanks us for this environmentally-friendly routine we do together. What's the #OneGreenThing you're doing in advance of #earthday2021 ? @craigmelvin @SheinelleJones @TODAYshow @3rdHourTODAY #greenthumb pic.twitter.com/xXpJMDxa7i

@3rdHourTODAY @HodaAndJenna - My #OneGreenThing today was checking in on my composter during this #MontanaSpring. Love that my kitchen scraps are helping create healthy soil. Strong “Little House on the Prairie” vibes this morning. #EarthDay2021 #ClimateAction #bethechange pic.twitter.com/aaRvKoX9VJ

It’s Earth Month! Here’s my #onegreenthing I’m done buying coffee in a disposable cup every day and making my own in the morning! Must have supplies: @farberwareusa percolator coffee pot and a @yeti coffee mug! https://t.co/xIv55OWb39

Repurpose items that would otherwise be trash

#OneGreenThing save all glass containers from your groceries (think salsa & pickle jars) and start a propagation station 💚 https://t.co/Hu4D5LP88U pic.twitter.com/h8GrASwo4a

@alroker My #OneGreenThing is to take used yogurt cups, use soldering iron to make drain holes in cups and use them for my seedlings. #TN pic.twitter.com/jEdc5oE6ET

#OneGreenThing I reuse the plastic restaurant take out containers 4 left overs. Never for heating just storage. Makes me feel good I'm re-purposing, its rather easy & it saves money. Some restaurants have some beautiful higher quality take out containers that end up in the dump

I use reusable vegetable bags when I go grocery shopping. I also try to buy local produce. #OneGreenThing pic.twitter.com/TmoF1s3GjQ

@3rdHourTODAY @TODAYshow Reusables! Napkins, baggies, “paper” towels. Easy, inexpensive, and way less paper and plastic. It’s a simple change to make. #OneGreenThing pic.twitter.com/DWDgSBEaBY

Reduce plastic use

I will avoid buying anything in “clamshell” containers because I prefer paper packaging and we all need to do at least #OneGreenThing . pic.twitter.com/eVtG8EEcef
