• Care2 is a website that I've been going to for ages - at least six years now. Care2 represents aid for the environment, health, human welfare, animals, education, women, and more.
• To help out for free, you can visit daily to click on links that use your click to get money for a certain cause. This program is called Click to Donate and consists of the:
  Race to Stop Global Warming
  Race for the Rainforest
  Race to Save Baby Seals
  Race for the Oceans
  Race for the Big Cats
  Race for the Primates
  Race to Help Children in Need
  Race for Pets in Need
  Stop Violence Against Women
  Climb to End Breast Cancer
• So, what you can do for free is go and click each and every single of one those links daily.
• Besides visiting and clicking daily, Care2 has what is called the Daily Action. Every day there is a new "action" that you can do - by clicking on the Daily Action, you are agreeing to participate somehow in what they're asking you to do. The Daily Action ranges from reading information articles, finding out ways to help the environment (and etc.), calling Senators or other officials, or signing petitions, and even more. And, if you don't want to do their designated daily action, you can simply scroll down and click on a link to substitute that!
• If you'd like to track your progress, then you can sign up. By signing up you also get to choose an e-mail address. Nifty, huh??
• On Care2 you can also sign a bunch of petitions (which requires you to provide your personal information). Okay, so we've all heard that supposedly petitions don't work. But you never know. Taking 2 seconds to sign one doesn't hurt, does it? Care2 shows a whole list of " action alerts" - as they call them - that you can sign for. If you're a member, once you take the action, they'll put a butterfly next to it, meaning you've completed that action. So as time progresses you can see how many actions you've taken - it's quite rewarding! So, go here and sign their petitions and take action!
• A new feature of Care2 is a community called Green Living. If you visit it, you will see there are new articles daily of ways to live "green;" or, in other words, live environmentally friendly. There are many links you can explore here; one that I like is personal environmental impact, where you can find many solutions or articles on ways to live healthily and well. I also find their alternatives to getting around to places rational and interesting. They tell you the benefits of biking and, if you'd like to participate in grassroots advocacy, you can visit here to see what you can do in your community to promote biking.
