Rainforest by crossfirecw
Some gardens are little, like mine, and some are very large, like the beautiful Amazon rainforest. Yet we all know that the rainforest is being cut down at an alarming rate. Are you willing to give a buck for the rainforest? Or what about a buck for clean water?
As a writer, I know that part of good stewardship is sharing information, but even the most intelligent among us can not make change without DOING something. So The Good Human & Twilight Earth, along with The Grass Stain Guru, Lighter Footstep, My Green Side, The Smart Mama, A Little Greener Every Day, Fake Plastic Fish, Allies Answers, and Natural Papa have teamed up to carry a message. The message is that there are great organizations out there which are suffering in this economic downturn through decreased donations… and they need our help! These writers decided to give their readers, a voice and a choice. They took on a very simple fundraising mission, and they are asking for a donation of just $1.00. I decided to join them because I believe in what they are doing. I gave for the rainforest. What about you?
A single dollar; that’s all.
Who cannot afford a buck even in these times? I know you can spare a dollar to help out our fellow humans so that they can live sustainably rather than chopping down rainforest.
You have the choice though. The charities to receive the donations are being put to a vote. Which charities will receive the monies raised? Well, you get to help decide. The 10 websites listed above have chosen 5 charities for all donors to vote for. Two of the charities will receive the all monies donated.
If the community of folks who care about our planet cannot come together to rise up to a challenge, who will? That is why I am asking you to join me in making a $1 donation. While $1 may seem insignificant all by itself, by pooling our resources together we really can make a difference in these tough economic times. $1 is less than the price of a candy bar and can usually be found under the seat cushions of your couch. Won’t you help 2 of these charities with your $1 donation? (Now, if you want to give more, please – feel free. We won’t stop you! And by all means, send this to everyone you know so we can raise even more!)
Below you will find a poll and a Paypal donation link asking you to choose which of the 5 charities your favorite is. We ask that you please donate a dollar to the charity pool if you are going to vote, and know that even if your absolute favorite does not finish first or second, all the money donated will be going to worthwhile causes. If everyone we know who reads our sites, our Twitter feeds, our Facebook sites, etc. donates just $1, imagine the impact we can have as a group. And please, spread the word!

Please take a moment to vote for your favorite and to donate just a single dollar to these charities. Times are tough and our collective might can really help them out. I’ll keep you updated with how it goes. It’s only $1, so please donate!
