The last BLOG post was a great segue into this one.

Read over it to get caught up!

Though I can't seem to impact the current global financial ... what's the word? Let's say "situation", I can look for places where my dollar feels well invested, where I feel I am contributing to a brighter future, and where I get lots of bang for my buck.

As an enthusiastic member and supporter of The Mountain Park Environmental Center in Beulah, Colorado, I know that every dollar I donate is going to what I like to call, my Green Global Investment Fund.

Dave Van Manen, Executive Director, and his staff, embody green stewardship through a dynamic environmental education program, through land preservation, and through doing a job with best management practices in mind.

These guys (and gals) are my hero's!

The journey they travel to do the work they do, involves tons of fund-raising as a non-profit. Though I am in North Carolina and they are in Colorado, I know that when I donate I am investing in a better world. Too, it gives me a way to say, I can make a difference, in times when I feel powerless on other fronts.

What organizations might you put on your radar and into your Green Global Investment Fund? A few dollars can make such a difference to a cause and to nurture your giving heart!
