Review for Environmental Defense Fund, New York, NY, USA
The first I heard of EDF was approximately 9 to 12 years ago. I had recently moved to the Desert and I was making way better money at that time. I was on my desktop or looking at emails and something caught my eye regarding being of service to Wildlife. It was EDF. I sent some money and I became a member. I started getting the EDF news magazine in my mailbox and like the first one I received had a picture of a Fed Ex truck and an article talking about all Fed Ex trucks are now powered with alternative fuels. I though that was very, very cool. There were additional articles about saving Polar Bears and other Wildlife and I said to myself these people are on it. They think like I think. I started donating more and getting numerous plush animals and other EDF gear. I still have your original black colored grocery bag, which I use constantly. I love that bag and the statement it makes when I carry it through my local Trader Joes or elsewhere. I also have the original black colored baseball cap with white lettering but, that hat has seen better days in the past. I cannot gather enough dollars to send for a new one but one of these days soon, I hope to send some money for a new one. In closing, in my past when I actually worked and money was more prevalent in my life I found other Environmental and Wildlife organizations that I donated to. At that time I felt I was doing my part and perhaps making a small difference for the defenseless and the pure innocence of our environment. I probably belong to 8 or 10 additional organizations. I am not sure if I still do belong because lack of contributions but when money comes my way again, soon, I will make my stand and be part of once more. Of all the organizations I belong to or have belonged to EDF is the king of making the effort, going to court, being on the front of so many different Environmental and Wildlife causes and ultimately being of service to what God has given us that is beautiful, pure and free in our time of living. Thanks for this opportunity. Pass.
