Dear friend, one of the biggest moments of our year is coming up fast, and I knew I had to reach out to you early with a crucial update. Our planet is at a critical tipping point. This means our fight to protect vital ecosystems and the creatures that depend on them is more urgent than ever.

Friends of the Earth won’t take excuses from bad actors and the mega-polluting industries pushing our planet to the brink. We see clearly that corporate pollution is a choice. Together, we WILL hold companies accountable for that choice.  

Right now, innocent animals are facing extreme risk of extinction from human-driven habitat loss and the worsening climate crisis. Mega-manufacturing plants are covering our planet in single-use plastics just to rack up more profits. The amount of their plastics in our oceans could exceed the number of fish by 2050 unless we act. Meanwhile, mining, logging and drilling companies are aggressively attacking the Endangered Species Act – our strongest protection for vulnerable creatures and the vital habitats they call home. 

We know the consequences of their rampant greed will be devastating pollution and the destruction of lands and waterways essential to wildlife survival and to human health. But it doesn’t have to be this way, and we don’t have to stand aside while our only Earth collapses under this terrible burden. 

That’s why this opportunity is so important: A generous group of donors is matching every gift we receive up to our $150,000 End of Fiscal Year goal, but only until midnight FRIDAY. Because you've been such a committed supporter, we created a custom match link you can use to be the first to DOUBLE your impact at this crucial moment in our fight for the planet and its inhabitants.

This goal means so much to our organization and the planet. We chose you to be part of this select group for early match access because we know you understand how high the stakes are for our Earth and everything that lives on it.

The situation is dire, but getting complacent or giving in to despair is simply not an option. That’s why we must seize this opportunity for our planet right now, friend. Matches like this don’t come often, and the stakes for our only Earth have never been higher. So we’re counting on committed environmentalists like you to set the pace for the rest of our community.
