I thought I would point out a few of my favourite websites for online campaigning.
I have been an advocate of the World Wildlife Fund for many years and I have stayed active through the "take action" page of their official website. By signing up for the e-newsletter you are able to take part in many ongoing campaigns. WWF organizes online petitions, letter writing campaigns and offers a surplus of information on environmental issues.
WWF: Take action
WWF has recently introduced a new separate website concerned with reducing the effects of global warming. The good life allows users to create a profile and track how they have reduced their carbon footprint through a series of challenges and pledges. I really love how this campaign allows users to see the difference they have made rather than just promising them that the change has occurred.

Finally David Suzuki, a personal hero of mine, has created a foundation with an extremely involved website. The David Suzuki Foundation is dedicated exclusively to reducing man's carbon footprint and combating climate change. This website primarily offers information on how an individual can reduce their impact on the world through easy day to day changes.

As you can see the internet offers a multitude of opportunities for campaigning. The great thing about it is that you can become involved with a variety of causes, not just the environment and though this is true off line, the internet allows you to find and connect with these causes at a far greater rate.
