How to help the Gulf

Buy a tote today to help clean up the Gulf Oil Spill. 60% of the proceeds go to the Ocean Futures Society in their effort to help ocean wildlife. The totes are $24 and can be bought at helpusproject.org





If you're like me and would rather donate directly, here are other organizations taking donations for wildlife, fishermen, families, and businesses affected by the oil spill.

The International Bird Rescue Research Center

The Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research

National Wildlife Federation

Protect Our Coastline

The National Wildlife Federation is also on Facebook and Twitter. You can set up a Birthday cause on Facebook to direct friends to donate to your organization of choice instead of giving you presents.

Every little bit helps!
