A Citizen Scientist is a member of the public who volunteers their time and skills to contribute to scientific research alongside others. They support data collection, analysis and project development.
Participating in citizen science is a great way to support local nonprofits, like Recycle Colorado, learn more about surrounding communities and the effects recycling has on it.
