April 22, 2008 (Boulder, CO)- On April 22, the world celebrates Earth Day -- a day when people gather together to raise awareness about the state of the planet, and to take action on issues that affect our environment. And now, Leave No Trace is teaming with Google to offer a unique way for you to contribute.
Starting today, you can use Google Checkout to make a contribution to select environmental non-profits on behalf of friends and family. As part of this special Earth Day promotion, any donation you make to Leave No Trace will be free of credit card processing fees - meaning, 100% of your donation supports our education programs and training. (That's better than giving on our own website!)
You can also share your cause: your donation will be indicated as a marker (using your zip or postal code) on a personal view of Google Maps. If the people you donated on behalf of follow your example and donate, they will be added to your map as well. And when your friends donate on behalf of others, their donations will also appear on your map, so you can see how your generosity grows.
To donate to Leave No Trace through Google Checkout, visit our Give With Google page, or learn more about donating to environmental non-profits using Google Checkout at Checkout Earth Day page.
Happy Earth Day!
