Clicking cos you care

In my endless journey through the world wide web, I came upon this site called Care2. They are a company that promotes green living and espouses several causes. Care2 was founded back in 1998 to help connect activists from around the world. The membership stands at 9 million people. No this isn't a paid review, just throwing out a site I frequent to do my little, albeit still insufficient, bit for the planet, just a post to show how you can help by just pressing that mouse button of yours a few times a day.



The reason why I was attracted to this site was their "Care2 Click to Donate" section. Before you go up in arms with "Donations you say, I'm out of here!", note that it is FREE. The site has several ads on it, even though the layout is very neat and green. None of these ads are popups that will have you pulling your hair out either.


Now these ads would obviously generate a great deal of revenue. While a small portion of it is used to run the website itself, the major part of the cash goes to non-profit organizations who've involved themselves in numerous causes - ranging from protecting baby seals from slaughter to rehabilitating people who've lost homes in earthquakes.
