It's May! - time for RE Sources' Spring Fund Drive.


Because we know you care about the health of our environment, twice a year we ask you to stretch your giving to protect your right to clean air, clean water, and clean energy. This May, your gift will go twice as far.   


For the next few weeks, we will be raising funds to reach our goal of $20K.  You can help by giving a gift of $100 to be matched dollar for dollar by one of our generous donors. 



Gifts of any amount will be doubled, and will directly increase our capacity to...


  • Fill environmental education gaps in k-12 education
  • Influence consumer behavior to save our forests;
  • Train homeowners and businesses to operate with modest energy use;
  • Equip families to reduce their impact on overflowing landfills;
  • Ensure citizens' input is heard in environmental decision-making;
  • Ensure regulations establish clear, fair, and consistently-enforced standards that improve our lives;
  • Empower residents to advocate for the health and safety of their homes and livelihood;
  • And so much more
Check out our 2012 Annual Report to find out more about what your support accomplished in just one year.

Donate before June 2013 to have your gift matched dollar for dollar. Your gift will directly help us lead our communities toward a more sustainable future.  

 

RE Sources for Sustainable Communities is dedicated to helping individuals and groups build healthy, thriving communities through environmental education and advocacy.


We believe that many environmental issues can be best addressed by individuals taking action in their own communities. But majority change can be hard to create.


That's where RE Sources comes in. As innovators, we understand leadership is essential as we ask others to adopt new ideas and   actions. For thirty years we have led our communities toward healthier water quality, reduced carbon emissions, energy   conservation, waste management and policy reform. We model and help others adopt practices that will create a lasting future of   generations living in balance with the natural world.

Thank you for your support.
