San Diego, CA, February 09, 2008 --(
PR.com)-- One week ago, nonprofit green machine, One Buck for the Planet, announced the launch of its new social networking site (onebuckfortheplanet.org) and “multi-level giving software.” Accepting donations of only one dollar (US$1) per member, the organization supports a select group of front line environmental organizations, and is the first to make saving the planet truly viral, easy, and affordable for all.
Says founder, Curtis Baffico, “One Buck for the Planet is an amazing way for people to show how green they really are. I’m challenging everyone I know to challenge everyone they know—to literally show how much their world is worth. Money, time, and not knowing how to help are three of the biggest reasons people don’t give back. One Buck for the Planet provides solutions to all of these.”
Green individuals and businesses who visit the site can “join” the organization by donating one dollar to an environmental cause of their choice; “grow” their personal giving network (a.k.a. their “ripple”) by telling everyone they know; and “see” the dollars they raise multiply in real-time via One Buck for the Planet’s proprietary multi-level giving software.
One Buck for the Planet’s green, viral concept supports a handpicked group of the world’s most reputable planetary caretakers, allowing members to donate to the earth-friendly organization and cause of their choice. Well-established names like Surfrider Foundation, The Nature Conservancy, and The Sierra Club are just a few of the environmental icons that can be found by clicking on the Web site’s easy-to-find “Causes” tab.
