Care2 is a one-stop shop for helping out causes you love most. They have a huge online community of cool, caring people just like you finding ways every day to make a difference. How do they do these things they do? Let me tell you...First of all, since this is the holiday season and this is about ways to make a difference while holiday shopping, check out Care2 shopping for Gaiam health, wellness, and sustainable living products (they even have an entire fair trade section which I encourage you tree hugging humanity lovers to check out). When you purchase from the online store, Care2 donates 5% of revenues to leading nonprofits. You can also send e-cards and each time you do, Care2 saves one square foot of rainforest.
They also sponsor click to donate. Everybody loves those! Don't you guys love those? Go do it right now and help children in need or fight cholera or stop violence or whatever cause you support. OMG look at that face. Go click! Click them all!!!
I just saved baby seals.
They also publish news and information about causes; offer tips about living a healthy, green lifestyle; and offer opportunities to advocate for causes. I, for one, am a huge fan of the Daily Action. Each day they post a new action on the website for a way to make a difference in the world. Sound familiar? Great minds.
Another cool thing is that if you sign up, you get "butterfly credits" for taking actions on the website like leaving comments or signing a petition and then you can cash in those credit for good causes. A pencil for a student in Haiti is 500 credits.
Best of all, it's totally, completely, 100% FREE. Now go save a sea turtle.
