Database of Environmental Organizations

Globally, there are many people working to help make the environment better. These may be individuals working at a grassroots level, established organizations with large staff and payroll or somewhere in between. Often, these groups are working in isolation, unaware of other groups doing the same type of project or with the same type of goals. Happy Eco Media intends to create a comprehensive searchable database of all of these people and organizations with the intention of connecting them in order that they be better able to share resources, knowledge and influence. Happy Eco Media is a not-for-profit that is dedicated to; 1) helping people overcome eco-anxiety in the hope that they are inspired to take positive action, 2) help promote good people doing good things, and 3) help these good people connect with others. The Database of Environmental Organizations project will require participants to search the internet for credible environmental organizations starting in Canada and expanding to the USA and other parts of the world. They will reach out to these organizations by email or phone to collect data such as name, number of staff, contact information, location, type of project, etc.
