Anonymous, 2020 is going to be a critical year for the environment. From the bees that pollinate our food, to the water that our families drink and the public lands that make Colorado so special, our environment is facing critical threats.

We need to go big if we're going to turn the tide in 2020 -- but we can't do that without your support.

Make your year-end gift now to ensure that we have the resources we need in the year ahead -- and if you donate before midnight, generous donors will double your impact by matching your gift dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000 nationwide.

Thank you for standing with us,

Hannah

Anonymous,

There are just a few hours left in our End-of-Year Drive -- and we're still short of our $200,000 goal. Will you help push us over the finish line?

I've put together your member record for 2019. Will you take a minute to review the information below?

Make your end-of-year gift today. When you do, a generous group of donors will match your gift, up to $100,000 nationwide!

The plastic pollution crisis continues to contaminate waterways and threaten wildlife.1 The climate crisis has never been more serious. Bees are dying faster than ever, and the Trump administration is trying to open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil and gas drilling.2,3

Your support is what makes all of Environment Colorado's work possible -- and as we gear up for 2020, it's critical that we have the resources it takes to win.

We need to go big if we're going to turn the tide in 2020. Donate today to help ensure that Environment Colorado can start the new year strong.

Here are just some of our critical campaigns that your gift will go on to support:

• Wildlife Over Waste: Our goal is to spare birds, fish and other wildlife from the harm caused by needless plastic pollution by banning take-out plastic foam cups and containers. Double your impact >>
• No Bees, No Food: Our national network is campaigning across all levels of government to restrict bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticides. Double your impact >>
• Environmental Defense: We're pulling out all the stops to defend the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and protect caribou, polar bears and other wildlife from attempts to drill for oil. Double your impact >>

Thank you for your support,

Hannah Collazo
State Director
