Project Genesis 2/1/2011

Welcome Back

We took 2 months off to allow us to

 celebrate the holidays with Gusto.

Now we have to get focused back on 

doing our part to change the planet. 

This year I'm starting off with something 

easy and simple to do but it will have guaranteed impact.

My chosen word for 2011 is BEGIN,

and I have begun a new goal.

I never spend my change, or use it to pay. 

Even if the bill is $5.01, I give them the $6.00.

I save it all in this tin, and in the past 

few years used it to take DD to a Shakespeare festival.

This year I've decided to save it and donate to

 Arbor Day Foundation

My dad was a lifetime member

For every $10.00 donation they are able to save

2,500 square feet of rain forest.

I usually save over $200.00 a year in change, so the possibility of my impacting 50,000 square feet is 

my goal for 2011.

I have my annual charity contributions for

St Judes

Habitiat for Humanity 

Heifer International 

KNPR 

Goodwill

 Safe Nest

NRDC

and now the Arbor Day Foundation.

(Shakespeare will forgive us)

Whether your contribution alters 

the environment, a person's life,  

searches for medical cures or rescues

an animal it has impact.

Lest you think I live a cushy life...ah, no...

I do aim for 10% of my income
annually and most years I make it.

ANY amount multiplied by 

hundreds, thousands of others,

IMPACTS.

So get educated, find a group(s) you believe in,

and routinely donate. Lest we forget, 

 volunteer your time to these groups, just as valuable.

IMPACT OUR WORLD
