My Nonprofit Reviews

I can passionately care for our planet through the Tracy Earth Project (TEP), for several compelling reasons. Having experienced the effects of global warming, being part of an environmental organization has been a major life goal for me. I joined Tracy Earth Project beginning of this year. I have volunteered with environmental nonprofits before, but this group felt different. TEP made me a part of a nature-loving, women-led organization that works hard every day to make a better tomorrow. TEP has accentuated my desire for an environment-friendly life in the following ways. First and foremost, as a fully volunteer-based organization, all of us are doing the best we can by finding time in our busy schedules. I find this aspect as a definite show of commitment from the TEP group and I am proud to be part of these exceptional humans. Secondly, The community garden, youth engagement, and tree plantings have often invoked in me a sense of connection with the animate and inanimate world and how intertwined life is on earth. These activities and events have reinforced my commitment to fighting for climate justice, and to do my part in preserving the Earth's breathtaking biodiversity. Lastly, I care deeply about the economic opportunities presented by addressing climate change. Transitioning to a sustainable, green economy can create jobs, spur innovation, and improve public health. TEP's new initiative for local businesses, the Green Team is all about improving the local economy through making sustainable eco-friendly changes. TEP has given me a chance to build a better, more equitable world. I find the community engagement that TEP emphasizes, a great avenue for collective caring and healing for the planet. TEP is undoubtedly one of the best organizations I have volunteered for. In summary, my fervent concern for climate change arises from its existential threat to our planet, its links to social justice, the imperative to protect biodiversity, and the promise of a sustainable, prosperous future. I have been able to work towards all these causes being part of Tracy Earth Project.
