Greenpeace: Standing up for the Earth Calendar 2009 (Wall Calendars) [Calendar]

Greenpeace (Author)

Book Description

Series: Wall Calendars | Publication Date: June 15, 2008

Dazzling in its imagery and powerful in its message of conservation, Greenpeace features a dozen full-color portraits by the world's top nature photographers, including Art Wolfe and Frans Lanting: emperor penguins waddling across an ice floe. A manatee and her baby gliding through glassy Florida waters. Alaska's tundra turned into a tapestry of red, yellow, and orange fall foliage. From the expressive face of a Japanese macaque to a Scottish woodland abloom with bluebells, each picture is a poignant reminder of just what is at stake. As always, all royalties from the sale of this calendar go to support the work of Greenpeace.

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.
