Muskegon Conservation District has recently registered for GoodSearch and
GoodShop. Starting today you can raise money for the Muskegon
Conservation District by using GoodSearch to search the internet and
GoodShop to make online purchases!
The first time you go to goodsearch.com enter “muskegon conservation
district” as the charity you want to support, and hit “verify.” From that point on it
will credit the Muskegon Conservation District for all searches.
GoodSearch.com is the search engine with a unique social mission. It’s
powered by Yahoo!, so you get the same great search results, but each time
you do a search, GoodSearch makes a donation to your cause!
GoodShop.com is the new online marketplace that donates a percentage of
your online purchase to the charity or school of your choice. You can choose
from hundreds of popular online merchants and the experience of shopping
through GoodShop is the same as going to the retailer directly.

District Office Goes Green!
Since 2005 the Muskegon Conservation District office has offset all carbon
emissions produced from our electricity consumption. The District has also
committed to purchase only post-consumer recycled paper for all printing and
copying needs. We hope to continue offsetting carbon emissions related to
our office projects and programs by seeking funding to neutralize the impact
from travel, special events, and workshops.
