Mini-Project #1 Environmenal Organization
In looking at the three environmental organizations; Greenpeace, The NRDC, and the Wild Spots foundation. I am most inclined to join Wildspots or The NRDC. I like how The NRDC emphasizes the use of the law to back up their use of science to promote their mission statement.
Greenpeace in their mission makes it sound like they are a bunch of "treehuggers" yelling at the top of their lungs for change and they are lobbying for that. I know thats probably a misconception, but thats how they come off on their website as well as popular media. "Screaming at the wind..."
I very much liked the mission statement of the Wild Spots Foundation. They have a very worldly approach; their mission is "to serve conservation beyond utilitarian reasons by incorporating a sense of stewardship and ownership, which protect the world's valuable wild spots (ecosystems and associated biodiversity) in return for the physical, aesthetic and spiritual sustenance it offers for generations to come. "
Ultimately I see no reason not to join all three. All have been effective in their mission statements, and all have made great efforts in protecting and preserving the environment.
