We Need Your Help

The Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium would like us to join their efforts to reduce our carbon footprint. We would like every sixth grade student to join myactions.org if possible. Please check with your parents before joining. I’m sharing a portion of Ms. Marks letter with you to help you understand this project.

The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium is participating in the Go Green contest presented by www.myactions.org. I would like to invite you to join my team – Red Panda Rangers. For three weeks (Jan. 27 through Feb. 19, 2014), you will be challenged to reduce your carbon footprint in 21 ways. Each action shared will earn your team points, virtual cards and myActions will make a donation to the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium’s conservation efforts. By registering for this online contest, you will directly raise money for the Red Panda Network.

Red pandas are amazing animals and they need our help. The Red Panda Network is committed to the conservation of wild red pandas and their habitat through the education and empowerment of local communities.

Myactions.org makes it easy to share your green actions with their list of over 30 possible actions in four categories (Save Gas, Save Power, Reduce, Help Others). You may find that these are actions you doing already, you just have to share them. It is easy to join the Red Panda Rangers. Please click on the link below (or paste it in your browser).

I stepped-up and took the initiative to join Red Panda Rangers Go Green team. By doing this, I pledge to perform an action each day that will help reduce my carbon footprint. I realize that this is one fundraiser where I don’t have to give money, I just need to give of myself to support a cause and make a difference for a greener world.
