Fighting the good fight, Greenpeace never stops caring, and never stops pushing. The activist's "calendar with a conscience," Standing Up for the Earth features the world's top nature and wildlife photographers, whose images demonstrate, as beautifully as possible, exactly what's at stake in preserving Planet Earth. The calm yet steely gaze of a jaguar. A Brazilian rainforest, steamy and teeming with life. And off the Soloman Islands, a dramatic oceanscape of bright corals and tropical fish. For 2006, Art Wolfe, Frans Lanting, and other of the world's foremost nature photographers venture to te planet's furthest reaches, glimpsing its most alluring faces--and marrying each to a passionate message of saving the planet. Greenpeace is the calendar with a conscience, a stunning testament to the beauty and power of the natural world. As always, all royalties from the sale of the calendar go to support the work of Greenpeace.

This review is from: Greenpeace: Standing Up for the Earth Calendar 2008 (Calendar)
I like this calendar for three reasons. First, the size is about 1.5 times the typical calendar size, so the boxes for the days are large enough to allow lots of notes. Second, the photography is excellent. The baby Macaws that are on the front are my favorite of the twelve pictures. Third, I know that a portion of the purchase price helps Greenpeace.
