Charity advice
Jun. 22nd, 2010 11:18 amI'm thinking of donating to help wildlife (especially birds) in the Gulf due to the oil spill. What charity or charities do you recommend? I'm thinking about the National Audubon Society.

Jan. 27th, 2009 12:26 pmDear Charity to which I sent a donation,
Thank you for your considerate letter of appreciation. For future reference I see no need for you to waste either monetary resources or the resources of the Earth doing so, but it was thoughtful of you and I will understand if it helps most donators to continue donating. Also for future reference, you know what shows your appreciation even more than sending a thank-you card? Spelling my name right.
Love,
Zandperl

Donate books to kids
Mar. 18th, 2007 11:34 amOn average, children in middle-income neighborhoods have approximately 13 books per individual child. In contrast, for low-income children, there is estimated to be 1 book for every 300 children.

Morality...
Sep. 24th, 2006 06:51 pmThis is a horrible story of attempting to find Emergency Contraception after a condom broke. In my state thankfully Plan B has been legal and over the counter for a while, so a doctor's approval is not needed, however at places like Wal-Mart and Target, the pharmacists who dispense it can still have "morality clauses." This is I continue to avoid both Wal-Mart and Target when possible.
On a happier topic, start using GoodSearch. They're a yahoo-powered search engine that brings in revenue thru ads, and for every time you perform a search one cent goes to the charity or educational institution of your choice. You can change charities as often as you like, and if your favorite isn't listed there's a form to fill out to get them on it. I added my school and I've since virtually donated some 6ยข - I keep changing to animal parrot rescues I read about, and other good causes. I'm now using GoodSearch for my default search engine, you can add them to your toolbar on any search engine but Safari, and only switching to Google when GoodSearch comes up dry. Pass it on!

tikva for the link, GoodSearch is a Yahoo-powered search engine that for each time you do a search, donates a penny to the charity of your choice. tikva suggests the Guide Dog Foundation, I already donate to Mercy Corps, so I put in Noah's Wish - a secular animal rescue organization that isn't limited to cats and dogs in their rescue operations as the Humane Society is.
