I find many people are not aware of what they can do to help reduce the carbon footprint of the Olympics. I would like to share the many ways to get involved.

In late April I started voluntarying with Home For The Games - www.homeforthegames.com. We work to facilitate home stays and rentals for visitors coming to Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our home stay hosts offer great rooms to the nearly 300,000 people that will be coming to this major international event and give half of their 'rent' to Covenant House and Streetohome Foundation. We are actively raising funds to help Vancouver's most vulnerable citizens and I beleive making real change in Vancouver.

Join us - we're always looking for volunteers.
Join us - we're actively seeking home stays.
Help us - please tell your friends and neighbours about this opportunity to do well and do good.

Contact us at www.homeforthegames.com or call: 604.899.0332.
