There were a few threads a while back about [The Hunger Site](http://thehungersite.com/), which, in case you haven’t visited it lately, now has a sister site, [The Rainforest Site](http://www.therainforestsite.com/). Currently you can save 16.2 square feet of rainforest per click. Another cool site, listed as one of the sponsers of The Rainforest Site, is [zeal.com](http://www.zeal.com). Pick any tax-deductible charity you want and submit your favorite web sites (and rate others’ submissions) to earn money for your charity. It’s a great way for broke folks like myself to give what they don’t have. If you refer another user, your charity gets a big, fat greenback - one U.S. dollar. So if y’all sign up and put my email address - [neutronstar@planetmail.com](mailto:neutronstar@planetmail.com) - as your referrer, the Rape Abuse and Incest National Network will get a dollar. Not a bad deal. Happy donating 🙂 ---

[Webreleaf](http://www.webreleaf.com/), sponsored by ENN, American Forests and the National Arbor Day Foundation. For every 10 people who click, a tree will be planted. They’re shooting for 20,000 trees in the pilot phase, and are working on getting sponsors to continue the project after they hit that goal.
