Day 266 of our Green Year: Sponsoring Animals

Throughout Our Green Year, we have donated to wildlife funds, raised awareness about them and more. Today, we are sponsoring wild animals. When you sponsor an animal, you are not sponsoring a specific animal, but you are giving money towards preserving the species that you are sponsoring.

One of the best places to do this is WWF, which allows you to sponsor a caribou, polar bear, orangutan, snow leopard, arctic fox, emperor penguin, grizzly bear, tiger, giant panda, asian elephant, cod, leopard frog, monarch butterfly, sea turtle and an owl. You can sponsor all, or just one, and it does not cost much.

You get to know that the money you gave is going to a specific species, and you know that you are making a difference with the environment. You can sponsor as we are by visiting the World Wild Life Fund.

When you sponsor an animal with the World Wild Life Fund, you get a cuddly toy, reusable gift bag made from recycled plastic, personalized adoption certificate, letter that identifies you as a gift giver and a report that shows you how your symbolic adoption will support the wildlife.

Day 76 of our Green Year: Donating to the WWF

Now, judging from the title, those old-school wrestling fans may think Layla and I are using our 76th day of Our Green Year to donate money to the World Wrestling Federation (now the WWE), but the truth is that we are donating money to the World Wildlife Fund. This is an amazing organization that does an incredible amount to help the animals of the world.

Layla and I are extreme animal lovers. We have two dogs, two cats and three birds. We love being around animals and we are lucky enough to live in a mountain town where it is not unusual to see a black bear wandering down the street.

We want to help the world as much as we can, hence Our Green Year, and we think one of the best ways to help the environment is by giving money to an organization that is committed to making the world a better place for ourselves, and the animals we share it with. Our donation may not have been large, but every single bit will help.

As well, we joined David Suzuki's Nature Challenge today. This is an effort to help the Canadian environment by living a green life, and we are more than happy to take part in this wonderful initiative.
