If so, and you like them enough, you can nominate them for an award.
Submissions are now open for the 2019 Biosphere Awards, which aim to celebrate people's involvement in striving for a greener future.
There are four categories in the awards; environment, economic sustainability, energy and education/public awareness.
To enter, send 200 words of what you or someone you know has done to benefit the environment to biosphere@gov.im
The deadline for entries is Friday 30 August.
