Thanks for taking action to save our cypress! There are lots of ways to get involved. First and foremost, don't buy cypress mulch. Urge your friends and neighbors to avoid the product as well since it is coming from endangered forests on the Gulf Coast that are our best natural storm and flood protection.

Join the Save Our Cypress campaign:

• Send an email to the CEO's of Lowe's, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot asking them to abandon cypress mulch products. Click here to use our system that will automatically deliver your message to all three. When you're done, please tell your friends they can do the same.
• Make a quick phone call to each CEO and air your concerns in person. Click here for numbers and easy talking points.
  
• Personally deliver a letter to the manager of your local Lowe's, Wal-Mart, and Home Depot outlets. You can download a sample letter and get more info from this website . 

You can also start your own Save Our Cypress campaign in your area. From getting postcards filled out to direct actions, there's something for everyone. As cypress trees continue to fall, and the mulch spreads throughout the country, we need a vocal and engaged public all over the nation to help halt this destruction. 

We've put together lots of materials and resources that you can use for your local campaign, and if you sign up at this website , we'll make sure to be in touch with more details.

If there's any exciting news from your local campaign, send it to dan at healthygulf.org, and we'll post it on our blog!
