Already known as the "green" car company to many people (thanks, Prius) Toyota today announced a five-year alliance with Audubon called TogetherGreen. TogetherGreen will "fund conservation projects, train environmental leaders, and offer volunteer opportunities to significantly benefit the environment" across the United States, according to Toyota. The program will be run by Audubon with $20 million from Toyota.

Audubon And Toyota's partnership contains three main components: grants, fellowships and volunteer days. The grants will be used to fund local projects that conserve land, water or energy. The fellowships will be given to up to 200 "promising environmental leaders." And the volunteer days, to be held at Audubon Centers and other locations, will encompass various conservation actions. For those of you who prefer your eco-actions online, check out TogetherGreen.org (the first 1,000 to sign up get a free T-shirt) when the site launches later this spring. More details after the jump.
