Earth day 2011

Thomas (Ecotipsforlife.com Admin) — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 13:18:19 +0000

Like I mentioned before Earth Day has become as much of a marketing tools as it is a cause.

SInce it’s inception however (checkout the first poster here) many good things have come from it and organisations like the Earth Day Network (earthday.org) that grew out of that first Earth Day have done a lot of good things.

Even though April 22nd is the official Earth Day it is, in my opinion, important to look at the remaining 364 days of the year for actions that cause permanent change, which is evident by the year-round domestic and international programs being run by organizations like the Earth Day Network.

This year I’ll be doing something different throughout the year. In short post I’ll sum up some details about the several fight-for-a-cause type website I have linked to in the past months.

Details will include things like what the cause is based on what they mention, how you can support them and if I have them personal experience with the specific cause. Also, I would be very thankful for any personal experiences you can share with a featured cause.

The first to start of the series is Avaaz.org
