“Green” your
community for just a few dollars a month
The recent TD Friends of the Environment Foundation
‘How Green Are You?’ Survey found that the
majority of Canadians are dedicated to making green choices as part
of their daily lives. In fact, when it comes to being
environmentally-friendly, 96% of Canadians gave themselves a
passing grade.
One simple way that you can help support
environmental projects in your community is to donate to TD Friends
of the Environment Foundation (TD FEF). TD FEF allows Canadians to
work together to donate funds to local community organizations
dedicated to protecting Canada’s environment and
wildlife. 100% of your donation goes to environmental projects in
your community. TD FEF allows donors to set up regular monthly
contributions for as little as $5 per month and each local TD FEF
chapter decides what environmental and wildlife projects to
fund.
In the last 18 years, TD FEF has provided more than
$50 millionin support of over 18,000
environmental grassroots projects from coast to coast,
including:
- TD Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup: In 2007
alone, TD FEF’s contributions helped organize over 52,000
volunteers who cleaned 1,240 sites covering nearly 1,800 kilometres
of shoreline, collecting more than 87,000 kilograms of garbage. To
register for this year’s cleanup visit www.vanaqua.org/cleanup.
- Canadian Peregrine Foundation: Dedicated to
the preservation and conservation of endangered and threatened
birds of prey across Canada.
- Vision 20/20: An environmental studies camp
for junior high school students in Halifax. Students learn to
explore their environment and to question what helps and harms the
environment.
- Safe Drinking Water Foundation: The
Foundation’s Operation Water Drop program allows Canadian
youth across the country to test the safety of their local water.
Students learn about the importance of safe drinking water and its
implications on the environment.
