The Virtual Forest: Saving Energy and Natural Resources

The Virtural Forest (Bosquevirtual.com) is using the internet to raise money for natural resource conservation. For each visitor that takes an energy consumption survey, site sponsor Union Fenosa (the 3rd largest electricity producer in Spain) will donate 1 Euro to Acciónatura, a Spanish organization that uses the money for reforestation projects in Brazil.

The site is partnered with Second Life and to promote awareness, a virtual tree is also planted in the virtual world. Survey-takers can also sign up for energy saving email tips from Union Fenosa. Help support forest conservation efforts, spread awareness and get energy conservation tips at www.bosquevirtual.com.
