Racism Is Real- Real Story Behind Baltimore
 |
| To be a person of color in 2015 comes with shocking racial bias and discrimination in many aspects of your everyday life. Study after study has proved this through facts on hiring, criminal justice and more*.How to take those facts and reach an audience that would rather have a root canal than read a study was the task at hand for us at Brave New Films.And so we created, Racism is Real- the #BaltimoreUprising is a symptom of a much larger problem.
From understanding that reality, change can happen.  This video has already reached over 29 million people on Facebook and YouTube! Major press outlets like the Washington Post, Time Magazine, Huffington Post, and BuzzFeed have featured it. And now we need you to share it with even more people! Join us. Fight back against racism.

Help us give the gift of life

Thank you for your support this year. Because of you we are closer to metting our goal of planting ten million trees within the next five years.
Trees bring joy and festivity into people’s homes, it’s a symbol of new life.
But for many people, trees aren’t just about joy and celebration. They’re about providing food for their children, securing their land from erosion and feeding their livestock. They’re about providing long-term economic and environmental sustainability.
Each dollar you donate will help plant one tree.
Now, through Earth Day Network’s Canopy Project, you can even donate to plant a plot of trees in someone’s name and send it as a gift.
Your gift will help people and the planet we share.

They’re really thanking YOU, our generous supporters. But our work is not done yet. For every dollar you donate, we’ll plant one more tree. Trees provide food, energy and income, helping communities to achieve long-term economic and environmental sustainability. Trees also filter the air and help stave off the effects of climate change. Last year, Earth Day Network made an important commitment to the Global Poverty Project to plant 10 million trees in impoverished areas around the world over the next five years. We need your help to meet our goal. Please consider contributing to this critical effort today.

Pledge to slay your energy vampires
Help power a billion more Acts of Green
A Billion Acts of Green® has been a huge success. We are now well on our way to collecting two billion Acts of Green. Thank you for all your contributions!
Over the next several months, we will be unveiling new actions to help you reduce your carbon footprint and live more sustainably. Stay tuned each month for new ideas about how you can make a difference!
Today, we are proud to introduce our first action of the series: Slaying Vampire Energy. Even when appliances are turned off, they still consume electricity, called “Vampire Energy.” Each year, vampire energy is estimated to cost US consumers $11 billion. Since the majority of electricity is produced by fossil fuel power plants, vampire energy is also responsible for millions of tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year!
Fortunately, there are several easy steps we can take to cut down on vampire energy. Unplug appliances and chargers when they are not in use, plug appliances into power strips, which can be easily turned on and off with one button, or replace old appliances with energy efficient models.
Make the pledge to reduce the amount of electricity wasted in your home today! Tell your friends! And be sure to engage with us on Twitter: #ActOfGreen. Together, we will form an active network of people striving to live more sustainably.
