Environmental Organization

As a project in my Evironmental Biology course, we had to analyze the mission statements of Greenpeace, National Resource Defense Council, and Wild Spot Foundation and decide which of the three orgainizations we would join. While all three are excellent organizations, I chose the Wild Spot Foundation. This organization grabbed my attention becasue it is located in the city of Fort Lauderdale. less than five minutes from where I live. This nearby location gives me the opportunity to be involved in the ay to day activities of the organization. Secondly, the Wild Spot Foundation has workshops that educates and informs tha community of ways that we can better the planet. It help us to understand how we may be harming the animals and how to stop. It also has expeditions to places like New Zealand and China in order to assist in education of our natural beausties as well as to free animals that are being treated cruely. Lastly, the Wild Spot Foundation grabbed my attention because becoming a member is not a long and drawn out task; all that is needed is your name and address. So regardless of your status, as long as you want to protect and promote biodiversity in our planet, you can.

You definitely opened my eyes to the condition of the environment. I mean global warming and the fact that we need alternative sources of energy is a big issue that doesn't get enough attention. so thank you for opening my eyes. The earth does not have a voice, it needs people like us to speak for it.
