Interesting that Tides Canada is helping Google choose the groups who will get onto the new Google Earth Outreach program.

Excerpt:
"The groups were picked from hundreds that applied. Google received help in the selection process from Tides Canada, which helps charitable organizations that are working to achieve a healthy environment and social justice."

John,

Yes, when you have had more than $100 million in revenue over a decade, and spent $50 million on staff and consultants alone over a five years period, as Tides Canada has done, you can have quite an influence!

Cheers,
Vivian
