Who is David Suzuki and why his foundation?

David Suzuki Foundation The David Suzuki Foundation is an environmental organization based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is a non-profit organization that is incorporated in both Canada and the United States, and is funded by over 40,000 donors. The Foundation described its goal as to:

Work towards balancing human needs with the Earth's ability to sustain all life. Our goal is to find and communicate practical ways to achieve that balance.

Its origins lie in a 1989 "think-tank" retreat on Pender Island, British Columbia that was organized by David Suzuki and Tara Cullis. A dozen concerned individuals were invited, and inspired by those discussions the Foundation was incorporated on September 14, 1990. It officially opened its doors on January 1, 1991. It is a federally registered Canadian charity supported entirely by Foundation grants and donations. It does not accept any government funding, except from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. [1] It is also not a funding body for other organizations. Currently the Foundation employs roughly fifty staff members.[2] The Foundation's CEO is Peter Robinson, formerly the head of Mountain Equipment Co-op. (From helpful Wikipedia)

About the PokerPulse Gamble Green commitment:

Our contributions to the foundation will be made 45 days after the end of each month. We may extend the contribution period beyond Aug. 1/08 to Dec. 31st if revenue from the Gamble Green campaign exceeds $1,000 in any one month ($500 contribution to the David Suzuki Foundation) until and including July, 2008. We may even extend the contribution period to Dec. 31, 2010 if revenue from the campaign exceeds, $1,000 in any two months in 2008. PokerPulse reserves the right to name an alternate globally-recognized non-profit environmental organization if contributing to the David Suzuki Foundation is not be possible - (for example, if the foundation refuses our contributions for any reason). Any changes will be posted here as soon as is reasonably possible.

 

PokerPulse is committed to helping gamblers find Green solutions.

If, like millions, you enjoy gambling as a leisure activity, consider playing online to save the planet. Internet gambling is the clear winner when tit comes to the environment. Consider the carbon AND real money savings from a weekend trip to Atlantic City, Las Vegas, Macau, Monte-Carlo or any of the world's notable gambling destinations when you Gamble Green and place your bets from the comfort of home.

  1. Online gambling requires NO TRAVEL. More on the huge environmental costs of travel to smoky, airless, mega-lit brick-and-mortars burning bright all night 24/7 below.
  2. Compare the travel footprint with the carbon cost of a few hours on your ENEREGY STAR-rated computer. Again, Internet gambling is the clear earth-friendly winning strategy.
  3. Include the eco-cost of daily sheets and towels at a hotel PLUS the transport of food and other hotel supplies - especially to exotic destinations, then add in the economic and environmental impact on locals working to support a foreign-owned resort industry.

Make the switch! When you move even a small part of your gambling online, you'll be helping the planet. And when you join our Gamble Green campaign we'll contribute HALF of our revenue from the campaign to the foundation of a world-renowned scientist/activist with a proven track record in environmental protection, helping the planet even more!

 

STILL MORE reasons to join the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign:

Gamble Green. Say no gambling travel. Refuse to be a contributor to the especially devestating environmental impact of air travel for the sake of gambling.

Gamble Green BONUS! When you avoid the carbon cost of air travel, you'll also avoid endless post-9/11 airport line-ups and other travel security measures that fail almost every efficiency test, anyway!

Gamble Green. Give the high sign to high-priced gambling resorts in exotic locales. Such developments all too often proceed contrary to environmental impact studies and pose a threat to fragile, irrecplacable eco-systems. AND despite all that sheet and towel washing, which also adds to the carbon trail, local workers are rarely paid on a level consistent with their western counterparts.

More on the new eco-threats locals face as a result of exotic travel PLUS a few surprises about where that beautiful 'local' produce really came from.

Gamble Green. Brick-and-mortar casinos stand at the forefront of America's latest and greatest anti-terrorist security systems. ... Ever wondered why?

Gamble Green and keep a safe distance from a few of the more, shall we say, unexpected, streams that may be flowing free at a brick-and-mortar - Phew!

Gamble Green. It may even be safer. Bear in mind that if you have a dispute about winnings online, there's a record at the website of every bet placed. If you have a dispute at a U.S. Tribal casino, immunity from prosecution provisions mean no U.S. court is authorized to assist.

PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign FAQs

Is air travel and car travel bad for the environment?

Yes. Short haul air travel and car travel are the worst offenders in terms of carbon released into the atmosphere. See Air Travel and Climate Change at the David Suzuki Foundation, whose recommendation regarding travel is stay closer to home to help the environment. View the comparison of carbon footprints for various forms of travel also listed at the foundation's website.

Are tax receipts generated or provided to participants of the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign?

No. PokerPulse only sees campaign results as earnings from our sign-ups at PartyCasino and PartyPoker in a PartyPartner report. Again, PokerPulse will not see revenues earned from individual participants in the Gamble Green campaign. Our contributions will be calculated solely on the basis of PartyPartner reports as described above and below.

If you need a tax receipt then please make a contribution directly to David Suzuki Foundation or your favorite non-profit working to save the planet.

Is the David Suzuki Foundation involved in any way with the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign?

No. The foundation is NOT involved in any way with the campaign and is probably not aware of the campaign. The foundation will only see donations from PokerPulse/Dennis Boyko and will not be involved in any way with our Gamble Green campaign. Similarly, PokerPulse will not tell David Suzuki Foundation how to use any contributions we make.

Is PartyGaming involved in the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign?

Yes. Our affiliate manager at PartyGaming is aware of the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign and wishes us success.

PartyGaming monthly affiliate reports, which detail our affiliate earnings on PartyCasino and PartyPoker brands, will be the basis for determining revenue earned from our Gamble Green campaign. PokerPulse will be responsible for contributing 50% of its Gamble Green campaign affiliate revenues to David Suzuki Foundation. PokerPulse will keep monthly records for inspection by tax and/or regulatory parties.

Is this offer open to residents in the US?

No. PartyGaming does not accept any US resident players and PokerPulse does not work with any sites that take US players. PartyGaming has final say on who is eligible to create an account (e.g. players under the age of 18 are prohibited from playing for money, U.S. residents are blocked, etc.).

U.S. visitors are invited to make a contribution directly to the foundation or to your favorite environmental non-profit and then work with House Finance Committee Chair Barney Frank or your senator to enact regulatory change that will allow you to legally gamble online (and help save the planet).

Is this campaign limited to PartyCasino and PartyPoker?

No. One PartyGaming account, which you can create at either PartyCasino or PartyPoker, is all that you need to play at any of the PartyGaming online offerings, which include PartyPoker, PartyCasino, PartyBets, PartyBingo and several more sites -- that is, one account gives you full access to all of the PartyGaming sites.

What is a sign-up 'bonus code' ?

If you create your PartyCasino or PartyPoker account using links from this page, then you don't need to remember or use a sign-up bonus code -- all links have trackers which will automatically identify you as taking part in our Gamble Green campaign. Likewise, you can send your friends to this page if you convince them that our Gamble Green campaign is worth considering.

However, you can also get your friends to join the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign by telling them to use the sign-up bonus code GOGREEN when creating a new account at PartyCasino. Similarly you can get your friends to join our Gamble Green campaign at PartyPoker by using the sign-up bonus code GREENPOKER.

If in doubt, then please use GOGREEN when creating your PartyCasino account or GREENPOKER when creating your PartyPoker account.

But is gambling online the same as going to B&M casino?

No. Some might say it is more enjoyable to gamble online. Online poker is considered by many to be much faster/better than the game found in a B&M casino or even at home at the kitchen table with friends. Of course, a gambling holiday in Monte-Carlo or Macau does have its attractions.

For another perspective about online poker, please see the February 29, 2008 Vancouver Sun story by writer Randy Shore, "How we're becoming a Poker Nation".

Please consider spending some of your gambling time online instead of traveling to a casino. If you decide to gamble online, you'll be helping to combat global warming. If you join the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign, you'll receive a bonus, you'll help to combat global warming AND you'll help us help the David Suzuki Foundation come up with better and better ways to stop the clock on climate change.

You can help even more by telling your friends to check out the PokerPulse Gamble Green campaign. And please link to this page ( http://www.pokerpulse.com/gogreen.php ). Remember:

Building super-luxury casino resorts in fragile eco-systems like the Caribbean is bad for the environment especially when the profits leak back to foreign owners. Gambling Green makes much better eco-sense and it helps countries with few resources such as Antigua diversify their economies, creating safe, clean  employment in the better-paying service sector, which in turn funds health care and other much needed social services. International trade law provides a helpful blueprint for the world to use scarce resources wisely and eco-cost-effectively. Facilitating remote gambling operations is but one example of a win-win for the environment and for countries like Antigua that gave up a lot to join the WTO in return for access to wealthy North American markets. We'd like to do our part to ensure they get a fair chance.
