Fun Facts

We know that for many Rural Action members, every day is Earth Day. So, on the day after Earth Day, we are recognizing that honoring our Earth should happen all year long. Beginning this week, CO2Stats will measure The Rambler's carbon footprint, based on how many people visit the site, and offset that amount of emissions by purchasing carbon offsets, which will be invested in alternative energy. Sure, over time The Rambler may only offset a few pounds of carbon, but every little bit counts, right? You can monitor our success by viewing the green box labeled "Green Website" on the right side of the screen.
