I'm hoping I put this in the right spot, otherwise if the mods could please move it to the right one that would be great....

I thought I'd forward a request from a good cause:

Call for aquarium tanks of 10 and 20 gallons!

As part of the Sustainable Prisons Project (www.sustainableprisons.org), Cedar Creek
Corrections Center is trying to raise their own crickets to feed their
quickly growing endangered Oregon spotted frogs so they can release them into the wild.
They currently order crickets from Louisiana which are shipped overnight to the
prison in Littlerock, Washington. This is not only expensive it also
creates a large carbon footprint. The inmates have been experimenting with
raising their own crickets and have had some success, but in order to feed 85 rapidly
grown Oregon spotted frogs they need to expand their raising capacity.
This means they need more aquarium tanks. They are looking for tanks of
10 and 20 gallons (approximately 6 tanks of each size) and are gladly accepting
donations. If you happen to have an old aquarium sitting in your garage that you just
don't know what to do with and would like to support our project please
contact Liesl Plomski or Jill Cooper (contact information below). Your contribution
will be greatly appreciated!
