Growyn Support by your Daily Searching...
One of the interesting groups we met on the Breathe Premiere Tour were representatives to the brand new search engine called Growyn, a 100% non-profit organization that donates all of the profits it receives from advertising on the site to Ecological projects. Similar in all ways, although in it's early stages of development, to the search giants Google, MSN and Yahoo, the main difference of Growyn is it's commitment to use the everyday need of internet searches and funnel this revenue into direct action projects creating a consumer option to third party contribute to different causes simply by their usual daily habits and their need to access web based information. We are so impressed, we are recommending it as our recogmnetded search engine.

Conscious Consumption - the 7skygreenroom
With the single most important date looming on the horizon for the Christian western world (sadly these days it has little to do with the birth of Christ) - the end of season sales figures - the 7skygreenroom offers a wide range of products all certified to have been produced with the maximum of thought, care and due diligence to the environment around us. This year, instead of giving thanks by imported Chinese plastic trinkets that will be broken and discarded by nightfall, consider giving love by offering products that were made by it. Additionally, a percentage of all sales from the products offered in the 7skygreenroom is donated to social and ecological organizations, making your gift a gift to the planet.
