The Jupiter Middle School 'treehuggers' spent the day at Busch Wildlife Sanctuary on Jupiter Saturday, December 8, 2007.

This was The International Call to Action for Day for Environmentalists.

During the 1970s', 80s' and 90's you would protest in the streets, picket, sometimes riot, or barricade yourself to a light post to prove you're an eco-activist.

Today is a much different day with a whole new approach. By showing your concern for the planet and supporting environmental missions you can reach a larger crowd of listeners.

The Treehuggers sold 48 Green License Plates in North Palm Beach for the Environment with proceeds of $300.00 to benefit Busch Wildlife. The Busch administration was amazed how this middle school group could raise awareness and funds at such a fast pace.

William Djubin, Founder of EarthRehab was on-site to help with the Event, and donated an additional $1.00/per plate from the sales.

Lisa Zern of Jupiter Middle said the Event was a huge success and exceeded her expectations, 'Now we are looking forward to do even more.'

Future collaboration between EarthRehab and the JMST may include Beach & Reef Clean-ups, or a Day spent at Nature Conservancy Blowing Rocks to raise funds for the California Wildfires and the habitat rebuilding the Nature Conservancy faces.
