Now there are more ways than ever to make a donation to TLC, thanks to the
generosity and creativity of several businesses. Read more below to find
out how shopping, banking and web-surfing can help support TLC's conservation
work.
Anders Natural Soap Co. -
The
nice folks at Anders Natural Soap Co. are donating 10% of the sales of their organic tote
bag to
TLC. The
tote bag is made of rugged
100% organic cotton canvas and will give you many years of use. Use and re-use
this machine washable bag as an eco-friendly replacement of paper and plastic
bags. You can buy the tote online
at or shop for Anders products at the State
Farmers Market (the indoor section). For more information about the

 Artist
Emily Weinstein has turned conservation and community-action into art. In
Saving Magic Places, Emily chronicles the three-year effort to stop a
development and create a public park on New Hope Creek. The book features 100
color plates of Weinstein's paintings of the area and key people in the fight,
including TLC's Kevin Brice. Saving Magic Places makes a beautiful gift, and by
purchasing the book you can help us save more magical places. Emily is donating
$10 to TLC for every book sold to someone who mentions they heard about it from
us. Purchase the book online from Emily's
website (if you do,
please send Emily an email with the subject line "TLC-40%" so she knows you
heard about it from us). Or call Emily at 919-402-0160 and write "TLC-40%" in
the memo line when you send your check. The book costs $29.80 including tax and
shipping.
Through Earth Share of North Carolina, TLC is an option in Triangle United Way giving campaigns.
If your company participates in a Triangle United Way campaign, please look for TLC among the list of organizations to which you can designate your contribution
and consider supporting us through workplace giving.
