Question: I am really passionate about our planet and want to do something to help it. Since your Scientists I wondered weather you knew anything I cloud do? Thx

Absolutely! “Citizen science” is a very big thing these days. One of the problems that I face and spend a lot of time working around is not having enough data avaliable to me. This is also true for environmental studies. Although it helps you to analyse that data, you don’t need to be a super highly trained expert to MAKE that data.
.
https://www.zooniverse.org/ is a website I’m really familiar with, and have used in the past to great success. Basically, there’s loads of different types of projects, from medicine to astronomy (what it was originally created for) to environmental studies that all need help making their datasets.
.
Here’s a couple of environmental based ones that I think might catch your eye:

1) https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/shuebner729/snapshot-pilanesberg
2) https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/serc/invader-id
.
But there’s loads more – here’s all the ones going on right now – https://www.zooniverse.org/projects?page=1&status=live
.
Each project page also lets you know what your data has helped and is helping them to do – they show you links to all their papers and the work that they are doing. You can also discuss it directly with them, which is really neat, too (my advice is to do this: scientists LOVE to talk about what they do)
