Gift to the Earth
The Holiday Season is here. Please consider giving a gift to the Earth. Donate to an environmental organization. My favorite three are below:
Date: 12/2/2011 1:48:01 AM ( 13 y ) ... viewed 2213 times National Resources Defense Council/Save BioGems specially selects wild places across the Americas that face an imminent threat of destruction: pristine coastlines that could become industrial ports; ancient forests that could be stripped of trees; and unspoiled wildlife habitats that could be sacrificed to oil and gas drilling. Our imperiled BioGems are irreplaceable remnants of wilderness that provide sanctuary for endangered wildlife, curb global warming, preserve biodiversity and enrich the lives of local people. http://savebiogems.org/
Pesticide Action North America promotes healthy communities and a safe, fair and clean food system. We combine grassroots science with public will campaigns to replace highly hazardous pesticides with ecologically sound, socially just solutions. As one of five PAN Regional Centers worldwide, we link local and international consumer, labor, health, environment and agriculture groups into an international citizens’ action network. This network challenges the global proliferation of pesticides, defends basic rights to health and environmental quality, and works to ensure the transition to a just and viable society. http://www.panna.org/
The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior.
We believe that the best way to keep forests standing is by ensuring that it is profitable for businesses and communities to do so. That means helping farmers, forest managers and tourism businesses realize greater economic benefits by ensuring ecosystems within and around their operations are protected, and that their workers are well-trained and enjoy safe conditions, proper sanitation, health care and housing. Once businesses meet certain environmental and social standards, we link them up to the global marketplace where demand for sustainable goods and services is on the rise. http://rainforest-alliance.org/
Thanks for Giving Green this Holiday Season!
Blessings, Liora
