How Can I Help?
October 21, 2010
If you, like me are passionate about keeping these beautiful state parks around, then there are many things you can do in addition to voting yes on 21.
The biggest asset for the campaign in my eyes is awareness. The more we can spread information about what is happening, and what is at stake, the more support we can garner. There are a few simple ways that anyone can help.
- Spread the word! – Tell your relatives, friends, co-workers, anyone who might not know how dire the situation is for the states parks.
- Start your own blog! – A blog, like this one is a great place to consolidate all the information you can find on an issue. You can also link people to other great sources of info.
- Make a Donation! – There are several organizations out there that accept donations toward campaigning for an increased parks budget. Your donation would go toward spreading the word through flyers, and television and internet advertising. Make a donation to help save the parks through the Save Our State Parks organization, or Yes for State Parks website (click the links to donate)
- Send an E-Card! – E-cards, available HERE, are a fun way to let friends, family, and others know about the upcoming election date and proposition details.
- VISIT THE PARKS! – This is ultimately the best way to show your support. Get outdoors and enjoy one of the nations finest state park systems. Weather it be in the forests, mountains, beaches, or deserts, you are sure to find the beauty and solitude that can only come from being amongst nature.
“Keep close to Nature’s heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”-John Muir

I liked that you gave ways to help. A lot of blogs give information, but do not always give ways WE can get involved aside from the change agent. Its make it more relatable and also gives different ways to understand the subject.
I love that you included a way for people to get involved. I always hear about so many causes and, would like to help, but, unfortunately, most causes just want money so their staff can keep doing whatever it is that they’re doing. It’s great to know that I can be an active part of this cause–not just by opening my wallet, or by checking a single box on a ballot, but, that I can play an active role in the spread of awareness. Thanks for providing a way for me to participate!
