Green Geezers Directory Dump for January 2022
Hi Friends,
In this series of articles, I plan to
periodically provide you with contact information for various individuals,
groups, and organizations concerned with environmental and wildlife causes.
These particular blogs will be ongoing and cumulative, so if you're interested,
you can build a directory of your own as I build mine.
I do have more in-depth profiles of
environmentalist individuals and organizations coming up soon, but these
"Directory Dumps" will provide a slew of information all at once to
be detailed later. I hope you find these blogs helpful in locating information
you need to become involved in environmental causes. There's a lot riding on
our involvement in these causes – including avoiding our own (human)
extinction.
Hopefully with this information all in one
place you can decide on some organizations to donate to, or, like I do,
familiarize yourself with their activities and take part in some way – either
by showing up at functions, sharing their information on social media,
participating in phone campaigns, signing petitions, or contributing in a
specific way that the organization/individual requests. There are so many ways
to help if you have the information. I want to try and provide that, and plan
to drop this type of information at least once a month, probably more.
So here comes the first batch:
ORGANIZATIONS THAT COVER MULTIPLE
CATEGORIES:
1% for the Planet is an international organization whose
members contribute at least one percent of their annual sales to environmental
causes. A global network of businesses, nonprofits and
individuals working together for a healthy planet. More than $175 Million
dollars given back to the environment.

Center for Biological Diversity
The
Center for Biological Diversity is a nonprofit membership organization known
for its work protecting endangered species through legal action, scientific
petitions, creative media and grassroots activism. It was founded in 1989 by
Kieran Suckling, Peter Galvin, Todd Schulke and Robin Silver. We believe
that the welfare of human beings is deeply linked to nature, to the existence
in our world of a vast diversity of wild animals and plants. Because diversity
has intrinsic value, and because its loss impoverishes society, we work to
secure a future for all species, great and small, hovering on the brink of
extinction. We do so through science, law, and creative media, with a focus on
protecting the lands, waters, and climate that species need to survive.
