INFORM Fundraiser in New York Showroom
Environmental non-profit educates public about the effects of human activity on the environment and on public health.
INFORM is a non-profit environmental organization dedicated to educating the public about the effects of human activity on the environment and on public health. Their mission is to empower citizens, businesses and governments to adopt practices and policies that will help sustain our planet for future generations.
INFORM has been actively working since 1973 on many reports that have influenced governments and corporations in the way they conduct business and more importantly, their efforts make a difference:
INFORM had a national impact on key environmental issues, such as chemical hazard prevention, solid waste prevention, and sustainable transportation.
In 2007, following a leadership change, INFORM's board and staff decided to pursue a more contemporary approach to their historic mission of disseminating information to catalyze change. The new INFORM is building on its distinguished research legacy by using visual media to broaden the audience to include the general public. We discovered their very efficient videos when INFORM contacted us to host their annual fundraiser that will take place at the Environment Showroom in New York on Saturday, January 23, 2010 from 8 pm to 11 pm. Advance tickets are $25 and include cocktails and hors d'oevres.

We believe that if you take a look at one of the INFORM videos, you will quickly realize that there is so much that you can do to change simple habits in your everyday life. INFORM’s research has shown that many consumers know little about the lifecycle environmental impacts of common products we take for granted in everyday life. From resource extraction to disposal, the products we manufacture, consume and dispose of have very real impacts on our environment and human health. We invite you to find out about what these impacts are, and learn what you can do to lessen your own personal impact on the environment. Take 5 minutes of your day to view "The Secret Life of Cell Phones". Other videos in the series: "The Secret Life of Paper" and "The Secret Life of Beef."
INFORM is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and can receive your tax-deductible donation here.
