SHOPPING THAT GIVES BACK!

I don't know about you, but I really enjoy Christmas shopping (ok and most kinds of shopping...)
At this time of year, however, most stores are packed and people are frazzled. So why not skip the stress and shop online? Better yet, why not shop from stores that actually help people who are in need? When you shop from these sites (below), you can find plenty of fun gift ideas that contribute to a better life for the world around us! Shopping on World of Good on ebay causes a percentage of the final sale price to go to the charity of the seller's choice, and often offers eco-friendly goods as well, while the Greater Good Network has several different stores that feature fun, eco-friendly clothes, gifts, toys, jewelry, etc. that directly benefit people across the globe and in our own backyard- even the furry ones! If you don't want to shop or can't find anything you want to buy (!), you can also click to donate (it's free). Every click provides mammograms, food, books or other necessities to people (and animals) in need, and even preserves rainforest acreage. Why not go beyond gift-giving and really HELP? And you might even discover for yourself how much better it can be to give rather than receive.....
