Celebrate Earth Day - April 22, 2008

A week from today, marks Earth Day. And what better time to start making an impact to preserve the world we live in than on this national day of awareness? Need some ideas on how you can do your part to share in the cause? Take our advice and do something to make a difference.

1. Send an Earth Day E-Card: Remind others that Earth Day is coming up and share a special note on how they can join you in doing something to preserve the Earth.


2. Plant a Tree: Contribute to the planet by donating one dollar to assist in the planting of 1 billion trees in the Atlantic Forest in Brazil. Learn more at PlantaBillion.org.

3. Visit a Nature Preserve: Sometimes the best way to get motivated is to see conservation efforts first hand. Visit a local nature preserve near you. If you live in Washington, click here for locations on preserves in your area. Any time of year, you can visit one of these great places, enjoy its natural wonders, and know that your investment in the Conservancy is working to protect it for generations to come.


4. Become a member of the Nature Conservatory: The Nature Conservancy's efforts to preserve the diversity of life on Earth depends solely on the support of its members. By joining the Nature Conservancy today, you'll help us achieve even more lasting results for both nature and people. Become a member by making a donation of $50 or more. Click here for a list of local Washington businesses that donate $1000 or more a year.

5. Take part in Video Conferencing: Many businesses like to conduct face-to-face interaction time with their clients. But that usually means driving across town to go meet them. Install free video conferencing tools, such as skype, to your computer and encourage your clients to do the same. Now you can communicate face-to-face, but reduce pollution by staying out of your car.
