Hello world! This is the first day ever online for The Better World Homepage. I started this site because there are millions of people online looking to make a difference and no place for them to call home. Until now.
Since this is the first day, let me give you a little tour. If you check out the box called BetterWorld Blogosphere you'll see five headlines from eco-groovy blogs all around the Internet. These headlines will change as new posts are made to these blogs, so you'll always have fresh, new things to check out.
The FREE Donations section allows you to make donations to several causes for free. If you're not familiar with the concept it might seem to good to be true - but it is! After clicking to donate you'll be taken to a thank you page sponsored by paying advertisers. The advertisers actually pay for the donations. Millions of dollars have been raised this way! As a little nice side benefit, most of the advertisers are pretty interesting in their own right.
The Take Action! section allows you to....take action :-) It might be sending an e-mail to the Japanese Embassy asking them to stop the Japanese dolphin slaughter, or e-mail Congress to protect or National Parks or e-mailing CEO's of corporations asking them to do the right thing. It might surprise you to learn that taking action actually really does make a difference. People have effected all sorts of great changes this way. In the future, I'll be doing a post on some of these.
The Our Blog section links into here, where you can read fascinating (insert sarcasm mark here) blog posts by yours truly.
And finally, the Sponsored By section features a socially conscious / responsible company looking to spread the word about themselves. They also help pay The Better World bills :-)
I'm going to turn the comments on for this little blog of mine, so let me know what you think or if there is anything else you'd like to see!
Thanks for dropping by - I hope you'll make The Better World Homepage your homepage!
Jason
