Thank you to everyone (all 18 of you!) who participated in ARC’s anniversary t-shirt giveaway contest last week. Thanks also for your posts on Facebook and tweets on Twitter, helping us to spread the word about our new partnership with JILLY jellybug. Your comments were all fantastic, and it is inspiring to see that people are doing everything from recycling to reusing junkmail envelopes to growing their own fruits and vegetables as small steps towards preserving the planet. The random number generator has determined that the lucky winner is….

John S. Who said: “Small steps include recycling and reusing.” Congratulations, John! We’ll be in touch shortly to coordinate getting you your t-shirt. Not the lucky winner? You can still purchase a t-shirt and support ARC’s grassroots conservation efforts in the Eastern Arc rainforest (remember that 15% of sales for this special anniversary t-shirt go directly to ARC!).
