Your Share - Jan. 2007

Document Actions
In this issue, you can: see how we're protecting a rare bird in one of Guatemala's key forests...start making small lifestyle changes to have a BIG impact on our world... finally understand global warming...and prevent Oregon's Steens Mountain from being sold to developers.

Welcome to 2007!  We at Earth Share of Oregon hope you'll start off the year right -- by doing something about environmental threats, and lightening your impact on our earth.

Protecting Guatemalan forests (and the birds who live there)

The raucous, striking, and endangered scarlet macaw is one of the world's largest parrots. With its creamy white face and brilliant red, blue and yellow plumage, the bird is a target for poachers, who sell them on the black market. This is just one trend endangering the scarlet macaw and other species that inhabit Latin America's forests.  Rainforest Alliance is working to stop the macaw's decline.  (more...)

Start 2007 off "Green"

January is a perfect time for a fresh, green start. Whether you made New Year's resolutions or not, consider resolving to do some of the ideas on BRING Recycling's checklist of ways to green up your life. Get the family involved; print the list out and stick it to the fridge. Add some ideas of your own! (more...)

Understand global warming yet?  Don't worry, you will!

Just when you think you have global warming pinned down, a big snowstorm hits.  Cut through the media hype and bad science -- take Northwest Earth Institute's new discussion group, "Changing Co2urse".  It can help you find real answers to your questions and start fighting climate change at home.

Steens Mountain for sale

Believe it or not, Oregon's Steens Mountain is facing a new threat that could trump all other issues jeopardizing the area -- private land speculation. An active Measure 37 claim could lead to improper development of this southeastern Oregon gem. But you can help the Oregon Natural Desert Association protect Steens Mountain! (more...)
