Serving a Community of Earth Wise Organizations and Consumers
Why just donate when you can make a REAL difference?
I support many worthwhile organizations engaged in environmental action and working for the good of people, animals and our planet. As a result I get requests to donate money. Often the request is to sign up for a regular monthly donation of $5, $10, $25 -- some affordable amount for most people.
Of course, $10 a month is $120 per year. Now, that's more than my Share Program membership cost me for a lifetime! And, that charitable organization gets only $120 total. No more. What if I invited that organization to become a Share Program member instead? And then invited people (friends, people from social networks, people who read my posts and blogs, etc.) who have or want a sustainable business to sign up for the Share Program using that charitable organization's Share Program link?
That organization could end up with hundreds and even thousands of dollars! By effectively promoting the Share Program with them and for them, I can REALLY help that organization far beyond what my $120 a year donation could ever do. And, I end up saving money (because a Share Program membership is less than $100) while also receiving the advertising and promotional benefits for my business. So, which is the better option? The answer is clear to me!
If you aren't already a Share Program member -- join now! And if you are, then do all you can to promote the Share Program so that our charitable organization members (current and future!) benefit. And remember: through the Share Program YOU will generate a new income stream to support your good work too.
Want more information about the Share Program, how it works or how to promote it? Just ask! All questions are good questions.

First there was Earth and then there was Man. And Man reaped everything he could from our Earth but failed to "give back". And then there came a time of reckoning. And Man began to "give back"... Everything started to Change..... The World is changing. People are changing. And business has changed... Every business you find in our ethical directory is a giving business....giving back to Our Planet by working in the Spirit of Harmony with Earth. ...Every member on Pledging for Change is here because they believe in Giving Back in the Spirit of Harmony with Our Planet
Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as ever you can. -- John Wesley, "Letters of John Wesley"
Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centres of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. -- Robert F. Kennedy
