DonatingThis week, I donated to 3 environmental organizations. I wanted to help make an impact in a way that I couldn't do by myself at home.
At first, I was going to donate to just 1 organization, but then I thought 3 would be better. From there, I was going to pick 3 organizations that I knew of, (Greenpeace, Sierra Club, Earthjustice,) but then I thought "why not choose local organizations?" So, I started researching North Carolina environmental organizations. I decided that since I would be donating to 3 organizations, I should choose one that focuses on the mountains, one that focuses on the Piedmont, and one that focuses on the coast, since those are North Carolina's geographical regions. I ended up choosing to donate to Appalachian Voices, Piedmont Land Conservancy, and the North Carolina Coastal Federation. I visited each website, informed myself on what they do, and donated $10 to each. Appalachian Voices works to protect the land, air and water of Central and Southern Appalachia and advance a just transition to a generative and equitable clean energy economy. To achieve this, we work to end harmful fossil fuel practices such as mountaintop removal, coal mining, and construction of unnecessary fracked-gas pipelines. -appvoices.org Piedmont Land Conservancy protects the Piedmont's natural lands, farms, and waters for present and future generations. We protect important land resources through conservation easements, acquisition and stewardship of previously protected lands. -piedmontland.org North Carolina Coastal Federation works alongside coastal communities to protect and restore the unique North Carolina coast. Through efforts for clean coastal waters, living shorelines, thriving oysters, effective coastal management, and marine debris removal, the Federation and North Carolina's coastal communities continue to work together for a healthy coast! -nccoast.org In total, I donated $30 and helped support 3 NC organizations that work to protect and conserve our state's air, water, and land.
