The spotlight shines around the world this month on our Environment.

eBay Giving works is promoting the cause. Headlines read: “Shop now to support the Spotlight on Saving Our Environment campaign!”

You may of heard the sayings “Think Green” or “Go Green” and today I am here to encourage you to head on over to eBay giving works and do some “Green Shopping!”

Green shopping is not about the “Luck of the Irish” nor is it about being “Green With Envy!” It is about making a purchase and helping the environment at the same time.

Example:

I’m sure you have a special item on your mind you were going to search for on eBay? You were going to purchase this item anyhow, so why not search through the Giving Works pages and see if your item is available with a portion of the sale going to help save the environment?

Not only will you be finding a great deal, but you will be Saving the environment in a few different ways!

ATTENTION SELLERS:

You can help too! Get busy finding a nonprofit you can support for the cause and be a part of saving the environment as well!

I personally like to seek out the nonprofits that need additional support. I found an interesting one called: Recycled Fish! I noticed they had no auctions listed for their cause. I took a look at their website and I was sold! This was the organization I wanted to support! Visit their website at: www.RecycledFish.org.

You too can help support their cause if desired by listing an item on eBay. Visit the MissionFish page to get started.

Find a cause and list an item today!

Search through MissionFish by using a few keywords. Find a nonprofit from your area or worldwide. You can donate 10 to 100% to the nonprofit and eBay will even give you your fees back! They do give you the fees back according to your donation amount. If you donate 10% you will get 10% of your fees, 20% gets you 20% of your fees back and so on.

I personally enjoy supporting different causes each month.

And this month, let’s all pitch in and feel good about doing our part. Even a small part can play a big part in our environment.

“It is Easy Being Green!”
