Express Your Inner Samaritan
Want to do more to support worthy causes, but don’t have the time or money? Green business services make it easy to give back. Instantly improve your karmic balance sheet by making the switch. Here's the skinny:
Green service providers donate profits or a percentage of your bill to a variety of nonprofit organizations. Some contribute to environmental causes; others to a mix of groups that benefit education, children, and social equality. Some companies even let you choose the charity.
No need for sacrifice—these companies offer all the same services that other companies do, for the same competitive prices: platinum cards, telephone service, high-speed Internet, phone cards, e-mail, and more.
