Protecting Today... Preserving Tomorrow

Help save 5,800 wild acres of forest habitat in the central Pennsylvania Wilds from being turned into the largest dump east of the Mississippi. Let the people in power know this area, noted for its scenic beauty and outdoor recreation opportunities, is not compatible with a landfill-incinerator-industrial park complex!

Tips and Review from our iGive veteran: The hardest thing about using iGive is to remember to go to iGive first, rather than directly to the store you want. I've never had a problem with a donation; they show up within a few weeks after shopping. Not all stores participate (Amazon.com, for example), but if you want books you can use Barnes & Noble instead.... One thing that's mildly annoying are the e-mails from iGive. You can opt out of them once you're a member (under "Newsletter Subscriptions") but sometimes the e-mails contain special discount offers, so I didn't opt out.... Using iGive has actually introduced me to cool stores that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise. For example, Abundant Earth sells environmentally friendly items, including items made from recycled materials. iGive is great for gifts too!
