“I love trees, especially those big, beautiful cedars and firs on the coast of BC. I'm thrilled to be able to contribute regularly to an organization that works hard to keep them standing. Together, we can protect earth's sacred forests.”

Margaret Verschuur, Whaletown, BC

“When we first met - Stand.earth, its precursor ForestEthics and I - the fight was to stop the clear-cutting of old growth forests for toilet paper and magazines and oh yes, catalogues, like those of Victoria’s Little Secret lingerie company. The goal was to shame recalcitrant VLS executives to finally come to the table and make changes in their paper sourcing. And they did. Stand.earth took on stake holders vertically as opposed to horizontally, from the deep-woods resident to the logger to the manufacturer to the retail store and finally to you and me, consumers. They used facts, imagination and wit to get us all on board. Come on. “Victoria’s Dirty Little Secret”? Brilliant!!”

Kris Purdy, Toronto, ON

“I'm inspired to help support Stand.Earth because this organization consistently communicates the interconnectedness of all life on our planet. When we see things as separate it becomes easy to commodify. I feel that they represent me in boardrooms around the world.”

Terry Christenson, Shebeshekong River, Ontario

“For the past few years I’ve been following Stand.earth’s numerous worldwide campaigns which promote institutional shifts toward more sustainable practices amongst big players in industry and commerce. I’m impressed with the level of commitment each member of Stand’s team demonstrates to its community and toward environmental justice.”

Mike Gutzer, Saskatoon, SK

“I am deeply moved by the work of Stand.earth. They have a long record of innovative and effective action. They act with integrity, courage, experience, and strategic creativity. Stand.earth walks the talk, partnering with local and other organizations to amplify their good work.”
