Team Earth SOS Las Vegas

Posted by Mark Clawson No Comments »

Team Earth is sending out an SOS to the world.

Rainforests are critical to our survival — they regulate rainfall, preserve biodiversity and store vast amounts of carbon.

So we’re working with Sting and our friends at Prince Charles’ Rainforest Project to send a clear message: the horrendous deforestation happening right now in our rainforests needs to stop.

Be a part of the world’s biggest SOS for our rainforests. Watch this great video message from Sting and share it with your friends:

This December, world leaders will meet in Copenhagen for important negotiations on climate change. Team Earth can send a loud message to those in power that the world’s citizens demand its protection.

The future of the rainforests is our future. As Sting shares with us in his video, the destruction of the rainforests isn’t a crime against a few — it’s a disaster for our planet.

Our voices are needed now. Invite your friends to listen to Sting’s message and to join Team Earth:

Team Earth Las Vegas

Posted by Mark Clawson 1 Comment »

Team Earth and Harrison Ford are teaming up and bringing awareness to sustainable living on our planet.

Every living organism on this planet is an energy of light in the universe. With enough energy we can bring a new light of hope to this planet. This is all about getting involved and being aware that the actions of a few can start that process moving forward.

This is not about politics it is about having a common purpose that works for everyone.

About Team Earth:   

Ensuring the sustainability of Earth’s essential resources while maintaining economic growth is the defining challenge of the 21st century. How we manage the gifts of nature – a stable climate, fresh water and abundant oceans, fertile soils for food, the right conditions for healthy lives and the ability to sustainably balance human needs – will determine the long-term health and prosperity of all people, everywhere.

Are You In?

Convened by Conservation International, Team Earth will unite businesses, non-profit organizations, scientists, educators, individuals and children in an international collective action campaign to address the most pressing environmental issues facing humanity.

Our first challenge of saving forests is just the beginning for Team Earth. The momentum builds towards November 2009 as we take our efforts to the next level.

Earlier this summer I wrote a post about my daughter and her husband and their experiences in giving back to the world community  “Kids Helping Kids in Africa”. Here is a link to a site that can get your kids involved.
