Day 138

I'm exhausted! But still keeping up with the giving for today, and now that I'm doing it I'm actually able to focus on today's sparked challenges.

The first challenge for today was helping revamp an organization's website. The Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated to the responsible enjoyment and active stewardship of the outdoors by all people, worldwide.Their website has a lot go great information on how to enjoy the outdoors while still preserving it - look them up!

The second challenge was for the Blue Frontier campaign. I've helped out with their challenge before. It's a data entry challenge to update their directory on marine conservation organizations. I helped finish off another page for them.

Day 125

Back to sparked.com

I went back to help the Blue Frontier Campaign on their directory of marine conservation groups. I helped verify just over 20 more organizations. I also saw that other volunteers have helped but they still have a lot more to do! So if you feel like helping their organization, definitely check them out!

Day 124

Exhausted! But making a difference using sparked.com. I enjoyed this opportunity the last time I used it, so gave it another shot and, again, found a fun project.

This time I just focused on one lengthy project involving data entry.

The Blue Frontier Campaign emphasizes marine grassroots (‘Seaweed’) organizing to bring the voice of citizen activists into regional, national and international decision-making that impact our seas, and increase public awareness of the challenges and solutions to threats facing our living ocean from the cascading effects of industrial over-fishing, pollution, coastal sprawl, and climate change.

They have a directory of marine conservation groups in the US which needs to be updated. There are about 1600 organizations in this directory and volunteers are needed to go through and make sure the contact information for each is still current.

I was the first to respond to this challenge and got 14 done...there's still a lot more to do!! So I will be helping them out again tomorrow and hope that some of you will be able to as well  :)
