Clean Ocean Advocate, November 2006
SEA SCENES
Support a Cleaner & Greener NJ
Clean Ocean Action is a founding member of Earth Share of New Jersey (ESNJ), which raises funds for NJ's environmental nonprofits through collaborative workplace giving campaigns. This is a simple and efficient way to support your environment. ESNJ represents 23 NJ-based and 38 national environmental organizations. Participating employees can choose to designate a small portion of their paycheck to a specific organization, such as Clean Ocean Action, or to ESNJ to be divided among its 61 member nonprofits that work on a wide variety of environmental conservation and education issues affecting our land, air, water, and wildlife.
Today, employers are offering their employees a greater choice in giving and COA salutes the efforts of these corporate leaders. This fall, thousands of NJ employees in businesses, large and small, will designate a portion of their paychecks to directly support a variety of nonprofits working on issues from healthcare and hunger to the environment and education.
Check with your employer for participation in ESNJ. If your employer does not currently offer ESNJ as an option in your workplace contribution program or if you have any questions, call Paula Aldarelli, ESNJ's Executive Director, at (609) 989-1160. For more information, visit www.earthsharenj.org.
