Today has been a great day for me… I’ve been educated on conserving so many things to help our Earth, I’ve donated money to Nature.org to plant trees in my family and friend’s names and I’ve come across this awesome video, thanks to Will Pate’s blog. Discovery Channel is one of my favorite channels and this sums up perfectly how I (and I hope you) feel about our Earth! Fantastic!
HAPPY EARTH DAY 2008!
Here are some great websites that will educate, motivate and allow you to DONATE for great causes to support our wonderful Earth. We only have her once.
Nature Conservancy – Plant A Billion Trees campaign. Donate $1/1 tree to be planted in the Brazillian rainforest.
EarthDay.gov – The US government’s website on Earth Day 2008. Facts, figures, stats and general education to Americans to make this year’s Earth Day the best ever.
EarthDay.net – Great site for resources, tips, tricks and education on conservation.
TerraPass.com – A great calculator for finding out what your carbon emissions total and the price to offset that cost to the world. Check this site out!
As part of dedicating my blog towards Earth Day 2008, I wanted to find an organization that would help me make a difference to this world. I found the perfect one! The Nature Conservancy is doing a campaign called “Plant a Billion Trees: one dollar, one tree, one planet.” It’s a fantastic cause!
For every $1.00 you donate ($10.00 minimum), the Nature Conservancy will plant one tree in your name in the rain forests of Brazil. It is SO easy to donate… so please, take the time to read their campaign and donate just $10.00 for 10 trees to be planted in your name (you can definitely donate more than $10.00 if you want)!
I’ve become more and more fascinated with our Earth as well as Space and our Solar System ever since I’ve been a user of the internet. With the huge number of space exploration videos out there, it can become a tiresome task to find one that really wows you.
Since Earth Day is approaching (April 22nd, 2008) I thought I’d dedicate my blog to educating my readers (as well as myself) on just how unique and wonderful our Earth is. Where to start? Here, naturally…
