More Great Efforts in Response to the Oil Crisis

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Last week, we blogged about the National Wildlife Federation (NWF)—an organization that is working tirelessly to reverse the effects of the disastrous oil spill. As mentioned, one easy way to make a difference is to select NWF as a supported cause in your GlobalMojo browser.

Another option is to head down to the Gulf yourself!

CNN has rounded up several organizations—including NWF—that are actively recruiting volunteers to take part in restoration efforts. These organizations include:

· The Audubon Society

· The Nature Conservancy

· Alabama Coastal Foundation

· Mobile Baykeeper

· Save Our Seabirds

· Greater New Orleans Foundation

· Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana

· United Way

Check out the article for additional organizations, descriptions of their efforts and contact information. It’s a great resource for anybody looking to volunteer on the ground.

Can’t make it down to the Gulf, but still want to help?

Consider adding any one of the organizations listed above as a supported cause in your GlobalMojo browser at http://globalmojo.com/causes/search. Every time you browse the Internet, you will be generating revenue for organizations responding to the crisis.

Gulf Oil Crisis: Make a Difference by Supporting the National Wildlife Federation

Gulf Oil Crisis: Make a Difference by Supporting the National Wildlife Federation

Since last April’s devastating oil spill, several millions of gallons of oil have already leaked into the Gulf of Mexico. The oil—estimated to be escaping at between 20,000 and 40,000 gallons a day—poses a substantial environmental threat to the beaches, wetlands and wildlife populations in the region. Every day, the growing spread of oil puts hundreds of species of fish, marine mammals and birds at greater and greater risk.

How can you help?

The National Wildlife Federation (NWF) is the largest non-profit conservation education and advocacy organization in the United States. For over 70 years, NWF has worked to reverse global warming, restore clean water, conserve natural resources and protect wildlife populations.

In the current crisis, teams of NWF experts are working on the ground in the Gulf to assess the impact of the disaster on local marshes and wetlands. In partnership with industry representatives, local nonprofits and government agencies, NWF is also organizing on-the-ground volunteer operations. Please consider supporting NWF’s ongoing efforts by making a much needed financial contribution at http://nwf.org.

You can also make a positive difference by choosing the National Wildlife Federation as a supported cause in your GlobalMojo browser. Just visit http://globalmojo.com/nwf.
