Last week, I presented at George Lieb School's Literacy Night.

Because the event was in April, I asked if we could do a tie-in with Authors for Earth Day - and they enthusiastically agreed! As part of the A4ED program, I chose five non-profit conservation organizations and the students at Lieb School researched each and voted for their favorite. The winning group will receive the stipend I received for presenting at the school.
The organizations I chose are:
~ American Cetacean Society
~ Bat Conservation International
~ The Humane Society of the US
~ Rainforest Action Network
~ Wildlife Conservation Society
The organization that received the most votes was The Wildlife Conservation Society (personally, I was pulling for the bats).

Earth Day
Today we focus on the earth.
Its conservation brings me mirth.
There's so much that we can do;
here are just a few for you:
Drink your water from a glass.
Plastic bottle? Take a pass!
Build a compost in your yard.
Start a garden - grow swiss chard.
Take a walk or ride a bike.
Don't throw out - reuse, recike.
Drive a hybrid - use less fuel.
Bring cloth bags to shop at Jewel*
Power up with wind or sun.
Please don't let your water run.
These few things are just a start.
Let's help the earth and do our part.
