Thanks to Ted MacRae of Beetles in the Bush, The Do Something! (Good) “pot” has gone up another $8.  Not only did Ted choose to DO the Actions listed below, he also chose to tell us about it. Ted, thank you for leading by example! Ted says of his Do-Gooding,

Enviromentalism is simply a way of life – a series of small choices that, when added up, makes a much bigger impact than a single, large act.

Ted did these things:

1. HELPED RAISE AWARENESS that everything we do affects the well-being of other creatures
2. GAVE SOME OF MY OWN HABITAT back to nature
3. ENGAGED CHILDREN in outdoor activities that helped instill a sense of wonder and excitement about flora and fauna
4. PLANTED A NATIVE TREE on my property
5. REDUCED OR ELIMINATED my use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers
6. VISITED a state park, national park, or wildlife refuge
7. IDENTIFIED & LEARNED about one bird that I was unfamiliar with
8. DONATED TIME OR MONEY to an organization that is dedicated to protecting and preserving habitats and wildlife

…anyone else?
