A Green #GivingTuesday

A Global Day of Giving Can Encompass an Eco-Friendly Spin

Are you planning on participating in #GivingTuesday today?  In its fourth year, this global day of giving celebrates a time of year to give back.  Instead of buying presents and gifts for the holidays like on Black Friday or Cyber Monday, participants instead donate to a cause or charity organization.

If you are planning to participate in #GivingTuesday and live a green life, try donating to some green organizations!  Here are just a few:

1) National Geographic Society: Created in 1888, the National Geographic Society "is one of the largest nonprofit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its interests include geography, archaeology and natural science, and the promotion of environmental and historical conservation," according to the official website.  There are many ways to get involved, whether by donating or signing up for the online newsletter.

2) Wildlife Conservation Society: Stylized as the WCS, this organization promotes protecting global wildlife.  Visit their website here to learn more.


3) World Wildlife Fund: The World Wildlife Fund has an iconic panda logo that might be familiar to you.  The World Wildlife Fund's mission, according to the official website, "is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on Earth" and works in six areas: forests, oceans, fresh water, wildlife, food, and climate.
