Launched in February 2004, by January 2011 Facebook had grown to more than 600 million users.  With a membership as large as this, it is no wonder that Facebook has become the preferred means of cultural expression, the 21st century answer to traditional gathering spaces like the campfire, the church, the town hall, and the neighborhood.  Not surprisingly, virtually every sort of community or fan page has found a home on Facebook.  Environmental entities are no exception.  Below is just a few of the environmentally themed pages that can be found in the expanding Facebook universe.
