More Greendimes awesomeness

I just found myself wandering around the Greendimes website again and realized that you can add up to three additional names at your mailing address for only $1 a year. My roomies just got added (whether they like it or not).

Also, the Greendimes peeps sent out this announcement today:

"Matt Damon, who has joined our Board of Directors, was gracious enough to do an Earth Day spot for a major TV talk show. He's an amazing person with a big heart and we're humbled by his involvement. We can't mention the show's name, so search for 'Matt Damon GreenDimes' and you'll figure it out. It just doesn't get any better! Oh wait, it can. And it did. We were also on The Ellen Show on 5/15!

We launched our service for Canada a few weeks ago -- so if you have friends to the north, let them know we're around.

We had a booth at the Google Earth Day Fair and it was a blast -- what a nice invitation from a GREAT company!

In honor of World Malaria Day, we partnered with The United Nations Foundation to fund the purchase of 5,000 bed malaria nets to help in the fight against this aggressive and preventable disease. We accomplished the goal in 11 days! From April 25th to May 6th, every new GreenDimes membership helped save trees, reforest the earth AND save a life! Wow!

Direct List Technology, one of the mailing companies we contact on your behalf, asked us to send them an electronic file instead of a postcard -- a huge thanks to them for being so cooperative."

The show that Matt Damon's spot was filmed for is Oprah. Unbelievable publicity for this little company. It seems like they are about to take off. I hope so, as they absolutely deserve the success.

Oh THIS is the thing you were talking about last year? Very cool.

I was reading up on Matt Damon (Wikipedia) last week and read about this. Coincidence?!? I think so, actually.
