• There are great organizations out there which are suffering in this economic downturn through decreased donations…and they need our help! A few great green sites have decided to give us, readers, a voice and a choice. The sites have decided to take on a very simple fundraising mission, and they’re asking us to donate just $1.00. A single dollar; that’s all. This is really important and really cool, so please head over to The Good Human (or use image link below) and get all the info.
