GTGM - Plant Trees to Sequester Carbon
http://www.care2.com/news/member/577339509/652913
I personaly did this only X3 so, my order came out to me cleaning up 5 metric tons. In the past when I have done this it would also save rainforest land. When I placed my order last night I didn't get that message so, I'll have to wait to see what comes in the mail and if it says I also saved rainforest as well.
Dear XXXX,
Thank you for your gift of $45.00 U.S. to sequester 5 metric tons of carbon by planting trees! 100% of your gift goes directly to The Michoacán Reforestation Fund. GreaterGood Network stores do not receive any profit from the sale of this "gift that gives more;" we bring it to you in the spirit of the greater good.

Please don't miss the searing story of one of our Iraq War veterans.
My nephew, an Iraq War vet who served in and around Baghdad with the 101st Airborne, expressed mnay of the same feelings after returning home - except he is not, thank the Great Goddess, suicidal. He is attending Western CT State University now - but up until a week or so ago was contemplating re-enlisting in the National Guard full-time to try to make some sense of his life and recapture the closeness that combat veterans develop in the field.
I honor all those who served and continue to serve: my father, my uncles - one of whom, ironically enough, is buried in Italy, the country of his parents who came through Ellis Island to find those fabled "streets of gold" - and all the men and women who fight and die in our military. I despise all war and the current one in particular, but I do not hate my brothers and sisters who go. WHY must we shed our children's blood for oil?
Remember what our country used to be: 
the Beautiful! Share with others who care. Cate
