13thirtyone Design LLP Donates Just Under $500 to the World Wildlife Federation’s Gulf Oil Spill Restoration Fund
During the month of June, I was very frustrated by the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Being so far away, I wasn’t sure how I could help, but I knew I wanted to do something. I researched volunteering online, but found that they were asking folks to stay put; they were already inundated [...]
