		<description><![CDATA[From <a href="http://conservationfund.org/news/gozero-video">Go Zero. Plant a Tree. Trap a Ton.</a>

<blockquote>The <a href="http://conservationfund.org">Conservation Fund</a> and award winning filmmakers from <a href="http://www.nomadsland.com/">Nomadsland</a> have teamed up to create our first environmental documentary. The 5-6 minute high-definition film features the Fund’s partnership with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, leading companies and thousands of donors as we help address two of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges — habitat loss and climate change.

Climate change has become one of the most complex and pressing environmental issue of this century. But while many of us agree that we must do something, the challenge sometimes seems great. What small action can you take to make a difference? Go Zero. The Conservation Fund’s Go Zero program makes it simple for individuals, corporations, or even entire communities to first measure their carbon dioxide emissions, learn helpful ways to reduce those emissions, and then offset the remainder by planting trees.</blockquote>]]></description>
