Actor Pierce Brosnan has wished his fans a Merry Christmas on his official bolg and has asked a special Holiday favor.

“In the spirit of giving this holiday season please consider making a small contribution to those in need,” he wrote. “The following organizations were on our holiday gift giving list: the [”Jane Goodall Institute":http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/155-jane-goodall-institute], Roots & Shoots, American Red Cross, Kauai Humane Society.

“These funds will be used to sponsor environmental education and youth based humanitarian programs, provide clean, safe drinking water to a developing nation by distributing thousands of portable water purifiers, offer relief services for the victims of the Southern California Wildfires, and care for numerous stray animals while also supporting the spay and neuter shelter program on the island of Kauai.”

Brosnan and his wife Keely Shaye are committed environmentalists, with interests that include clean air and water campaigns, marine mammal and wetland protection, and opposing environmentally disruptive projects such as the Cabrillo Port Liquefied Natural Gas facility being proposed off the coast of Malibu. In 1997 he was awarded the Environmental Leadership Award by Green Cross International. He is also a member of Oceana’s Ocean Council.

“Holiday Blessings from my home to yours and every good wish for the coming year ahead,” he wrote. “May the spirit of the season fill you with love, joy and peace.”
