Why Make a Donation?
Because you are sick and tired of the noise that is adversely affecting your life. You know that noise pollution blights communities and ruins the environment. It has become a serious health problem affecting millions of people. And you want to do something about it.
How Much Should You Donate?
That depends entirely on you.
You may want to consider the unique value of our work and what we are dealing with. The noise pollution industry generates billions of dollars a year in revenue. They spend millions of dollars to lobby officials on legislation that favors their corporate interests.
Even so, we empower ordinary people with the tools and resources they need to confront noise pollution issues in their lives and community. There is strength in numbers and there is power in each of us.

A Personal Note...
|
People should not have to be held captive to those who think nothing to pollute their lives with noise. There has been too much abuse going on for too long and the insanity affecting all our lives must stop. I think fighting noise pollution is less about money and more about taking action, but the reality is that funds go a long way to effectively reduce noise pollution on a broader level. Our group is not orchestrated or influenced by traditional power structures, such as a corporation or a government agency. Our funding and resources come from our members. We can take small contributions and do big things with it, because we make every dollar count. We have no wasteful overhead and fancy offices. When you make a donation, you are making an investment in the peace of your life, your home and community. I thank you for your support and I really do appreciate it. Richard Tur
