Grundfos are a world wide pump industry, with a sideline in environmental campaigning. They are bringing, for a 6 month trial period, their environmental message to Second Life, starting today.There will be events over the period of the next few months, and a number of activities to make you think about your impact on the environment and how you might change it that will persist across the 6 months. There are also opportunities to donate to tree planting (with Plant-It 2020, previously mentioned here and here), and to buy a water pumping plant for Africa.
