We want to reach
as many people as possible to let them know why voting for the
environment is so important. Here are some simple ways you can
help.
Donations and practical support
Campaigns
always need financial assistance and practical support. If you
can donate money or have time and skills that may assist the
campaign contact Katie Grinsted at vote@environmentvote.org.nz or by phoning 04 801 2763.
Wallet card
We will be launching
a wallet card rating the political parties on key conservation
and environment issues in late August 2005. It will be available
electronically and in hard copy. If you can help distribute the
wallet card to your networks, let us know by emailing: vote@environmentvote.org.nz
Banner Competition
Do you have
spare paint in the shed? Are you wondering what to do with those
old sheets? Does your fence need a facelift?
Show your support for the environment by making a banner. We are running a
competition to find the best Vote for the Environment banner. The rules are
simple:
- It must be non-partisan (ie not mention any political party or politician)
- It must have our website address prominently featured
- It must be publicly visible
- It must come down before election day (17 September 2005)
Send a photo of your banner to:
Forest and Bird
PO Box 631
Wellington
Or email a low
resolution image to vote@environmentvote.org.nz
We will display a selection on the website and will make a draw each week for
a prize pack. We are also looking for sites for banners.
