charity, march 2004
i almost let it slip out of the month again, but this month i’ve contributed to the solar electric light fund.
i have to say i was inspired by the beautiful spring weather — it seemed like an appropriate time to give to a environment-related charity. i originally was looking for a good international land conservation charity, but the best ones i found (world land trust and fauna & flora international) are both uk-based, and contributions wouldn’t have been tax-deductible.
It's not exactly international (they do some work in south america, the caribbean and asia, but mostly the U.S.), but The Nature Conservancy does some good work...
