hello all you lovely eve forumites, just thought I'd draw your attention to aquaplastics.org, if you've not seen it before.
"Every day you click on this site, the European plastics industry will donate 10 cents to help WaterAid deliver clean, safe water and sanitation to people in Ethiopia."
which can only be a good thing right..? go have a look, consider making the site your hompage, no effort from yourself, doing good for someone else 
sorry if linking this was inappropriate in anyway, but I figured it was a good cause, that's easy (and free!) to do for all us avid web users

It looks convincing enough but I always have doubts about such things. Why on earth would a business donate money to the world's needy for opening their front page? And why would they donate more if the same person repeated the exercise? It's an awful lot like those free disneyland trip FW: FW: RE: FW: type emails everyone has friends that insist on passing around. For whatever it's worth though, I refreshed the page about 50 times so that's at least $5 dollars.

You need to click the "click to give" that red arrows are pointing instead just refreshing and you can do it just once per day.
I did some googling and found this http://www.thehungersite.com/ and then this http://www.charityusa.com/ that lead to several similar pages.
These do seem like legit and it takes less than minute to click them all, so not big deal for me, but might help someone a lot.
Anyone got any more info on these site like press release that could confirm how the funds are used?
