I mean click, below are a few of the other free "click-to-donate" sites. (Got appr. 30 more, so just ask.) I use a little app called DailyRotation (94 kb, no install) to do my daily rounds, so I don't forget anyone. The world need every bit of help it can get I reckon, so get to clickin' folks! .:) www.therainforestsite.com (6 buttons) www.ecologyfund.com (5 buttons) www.redjellyfish.com (2 buttons) www.tree4life.com/ingles/ingles.htm
