Send Free E-Cards to Friends and Family – Spread the Importance of Conserving Earth’s Last Great Places this Earth Day 2005

Arlington, Virginia—April 18, 2005—Everyone is looking for an Earth Day project. Kids and adults who care about the environment and conserving nature can send free Earth Day e-cards to friends and family from The Nature Conservancy’s Great Places Network.

“Earth Day is a perfect time to raise awareness about threats to the planet’s natural habitat. With threatened coral reefs, endangered species and global warming on the rise, we need to take advantage of Earth Day to let people know about the importance of protecting the earth,” said Megan Stanley, Director of The Nature Conservancy's Great Places Network.

The Great Places Network is a unique, free online community presented by The Nature Conservancy, one of the world’s largest and most effective conservation organizations. In addition to the free Earth Day e-cards, members receive conservation news about their area, timely action conservation tips, invitations to local activities and access to Nature Conservancy preserves across the country. People can sign up free for the Great Places Network.

“Sending an e-card on Earth Day has to be one of the easiest Earth Day activities. Together, can we help save the last great places around the world,” said Stanley.
