The factor that directly influenced the donation from the ladies' aide society of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to the volunteers cleaning up the oil spill off the California coast would be an empathetic and environmental concern. This sense of empathy likely arises from the awareness of the negative impacts of the oil spill on wildlife, the environment, and possibly the livelihood of those affected. Knowing that oil spills can cause extensive harm to marine and bird life, the members of the society were moved to take action and provide financial support to aid in the cleanup efforts. In this scenario, the distance did not weaken their concern, and their awareness turned into action that helped address a dire need.
