Volunteer Locally

I get a lot of e mails from the major Environmental Movement and though I read them and always contact my Senators and Representatives over issues that I am concerned about I do not subsribe to any memberships. I worked for an Environmental Group and I saw what membership monies were applied to. Instead I prefer to volunteer because I know that my man hours are actually contributing to something more than the Prez's children's college fund. Besides lets talk about Non profit status. I would love to be a Non profit, the grants and funds available are mind boggling. If they are smart and care about the issues they will find a way to get the money from those people who, because they have caverns of cash overflow, need the tax write off.
I know of many local organizations that are involved in some really worthwhile projects. My particular favorite is Hopa Mountain. Check out their website. Let me know about your favorite local Non profits.
