Iowa Environmental Council – CDM 2025 Nonprofit Tree Silent Auction Participant

Iowa Environmental Council’s tree theme is “A Sustainable Christmas to all…and to all a Good Life”. Featuring decorations that are sustainable, up-cycled and natural. These will include decorated natural wood slices, bamboo hoops with up-cycled fabric, and seed paper origami cranes that can be planted to grow wildflowers.

Why did our organization choose to participate in the CDM Nonprofit Tree Silent Auction?

  • The Iowa Environmental Council participates in the CDM Nonprofit Tree Silent Auction because trees are powerful symbols of environmental stewardship, climate resilience, and healthy communities. Supporting this initiative directly aligns with our mission to advocate for clean air, clean water, and a livable climate. This year’s entry – “A sustainable Christmas to all… and to all a Good Life” – will also bring awareness to sustainability not only at the holidays but throughout the year.

How will the CDM Nonprofit Tree Silent Auction funds benefit our organization?

  • In addition to community awareness, the unrestricted funds we receive directly support IEC’s ongoing efforts for a just, healthy environment and sustainable future for all Iowans.
