Attention, Team Earth: If you haven’t gotten your Dad a Father’s Day gift yet, do not fear. We have a solution to your procrastination.
It’s called Protect an Acre. It’s a campaign from our parent organization, Conservation International.
The idea is simple. Keeping forests alive and intact prevents tons of carbon from polluting the atmosphere. (That’s why, at Team Earth, we encourage people to take action to protect forests, such as using less paper or planting trees.)
By protecting an acre of forest in Pops’ name, you can give him an awesome, meaningful gift – and make a difference for the environment. You can also send Dad an awesome eCard to let him know what you’ve done – we’ll make sure it gets there Sunday, and not before or after.
Protecting one acre is just $15, which ain’t too shabby when you think about what you’d end up spending on dinner, or a golf shirt, or a necktie. (Personally, I think a fella can never have too many ties, but maybe I’m in the minority there.)
Plus, this gift is way hipper and good for the environment.
Take action today — protect an acre of forest for your dad!
