Greenpeace

    I’ve been looking at all these blogs and besides these weird spammy ones (why are they posting on the Greenpeace site? Is nothing sacred?), there’s also a somewhat common theme. All over the place, it’s “I want to help, what can I do to help?” Or, “The earth’s a mess, what can be done?” Or, “How do I make a difference?” You all want to DO something.
    The good news is-- whether you realize it or not-- you people are making a difference.  Every time you decide not to buy a box of Kleenex, you’re sending a message to Kimberly-Clark; every time you tell your friends or relatives about the Kleercut campaign, you’re spreading the word and helping to make a change. Every time you join cyber activists around the world and take a cyberaction, you’re making your environmental views known; every time you forward that cyber action on to your friends . . . well, you get the idea. Keep up the great work. You’re already involved; you’re already doing stuff.
    Want to do even more? Here are some thoughts about getting more involved in the new year:
1) Join the Ancient Forest Defenders list to get the latest news on the Kleercut campaign (enter your email in the box on the right side of http://kleercut.net/en/)
2) Have a website? Link to the Kleercut site with a banner: http://kleercut.net/en/banners
3) And-- I know I've already suggested these, but they're such good opportunities, I just can't help myslef!--  here are 2 just for the students:
    * Join the student network, http://members.greenpeace.org/students/. It’s a great support system for students interested in working on campaigns at their school.
    * Apply to the Greenpeace Organizing Term (GOT). Go here: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/getinvolved/greenpeace-organizing-term for more information about the term. (Unfortunately, the spring semester deadline has past, but you can start thinking about your application for the fall!) After you read all about the Term, I’m sure it’ll come as no surprise to you that some of the most active student network campuses are the ones that have GOT alumni.
