I hope it’s OK to post this kind of thing. Until October 1, for every bottle of Dawn Dish Detergent you buy, if you log in to [dawnsaveswildlife.com](http://dawnsaveswildlife.com) and enter the number printed on the back of the bottle, down at the very bottom, $1 is donated to Marine Mammal Center and International Bird Rescue Research Center. You don’t need to have a receipt or send in money, just enter the number on the bottle, zip code, and where you bought it. I bought 3 bottles after seeing the commercial on TV because if a little duck or seal can be saved after an oil spill, well ☹ …

You are supposed to ask permission before posting commercial messages that encourage people to buy things. I’ll leave this one for the moment, but please don’t do this again.

I apologize. I posted without thinking it through or checking to see if it was OK.

I’m really glad you posted this. I didn’t realize I had to log in and register for the $1 to go to the fund, so thanks for fighting ignorance!
