Protect our species and WIN on Earth Day 2019!
This year the theme for Earth Day is “Protect Our Species”. We want to raise awareness, so have teamed up with some other eco conscious business to collaborate on a giveaway competition. The one lucky winner will walk away with an amazing prize pack worth over $300!
Each of the collaborating business are all common in that they regularly donate to wildlife conservation charities – since the beginning of 2018 the Lil' Creatures and I donate a portion of profits from every Lil’ Koala sale on this site to The Australian Koala Foundation to help #savethekoala in the wild.
To learn more about what you can do to protect our species, find out about each of our special collaborators and how to enter the competition, read on!
Earth Day 2019 – Protect Our Species
“In nature, nothing exists alone.”
— Rachel Carson, 1962
We urgently need to act now to protect our threatened and endangered species.
Did you know that our human activity now is causing the greatest rate of extinction of species on Earth since the extinction of the dinosaurs 60 million years ago? It’s true! But unlike the fate of the dinosaurs, this is the result of our human activity: climate change, habitat loss, unsustainable agriculture, deforestation, trafficking and poaching, pollution and pesticides to name just a few.
The Earth Day Network (www.earthday.org) is a non-profit organisation with a mission to diversify, educate and activate the environmental movement worldwide.
This year, the Earth Day Network is asking people around the globe to join its campaign to Protect Our Species.
Every step in the right direct helps, so head over to the Earth Day website for tips on how to Go Green. There are also other practical steps you can take on the Earth Day Network’s website.
