Silent Auction for Vital Actions
After the success of our last charitable silent auction benefiting California Fire Foundation’s SAVE program, we are excited to announce our next Instagram auction benefiting Vital Actions.
Beginning Sunday 12/16 we will be auctioning off this papercut piece and a papercut commission by Bird Mafia artist Emily Brown.
When I spoke to Tim, founder of Vital Actions and an old friend, about doing this auction I learned a lot about his vision for Vital Actions. To beautifully sum it up he stated, “Everything is connected. Nothing is insignificant.” This idea perfectly embodies the expansive work that Vital Actions is doing in campaigns in Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Mexico, and the United States.
Though their defense of sea turtle nests and Tim’s beautiful photographs of these majestic creatures is enough to tug at anyone’s heart stings, Vital Actions is doing so much more. Community outreach, vegan meal shares, reforestation, invasive plant species removal, plastic debris clean-ups, and inspiring people everywhere.
“Since 2012 our teams have removed over 9,000 sacks of plastic debris (roughly 120,000 kilos) from sensitive coastal habitats. In the past 2.5 years we have released over 35,000 hatchlings from 3 endangered sea turtle species. We provide healthy, vegan food and other ongoing support to communities in need. We have strategically planted 100s of endangered hardwood trees. We have enacted 100s of hours of anti-poaching and anti-illegal logging patrols in vulnerable nature reserves. We have enacted environmental education and outreach programs. The list goes on...”
