Green Groove is very excited to announce the latest addition to our weekly plans! Recently added was the ability to check off goals related to making donations to various charities, or a charity of your choice. Now this doesn't mean that you can take a week off from being proactive about other goals that you have previously worked on. What it means is that you can now spend some time becoming more familiar with international foundations that make it their missions to help make a green and clean planet.

Green Groove would also like to give out a big THANK YOU to Juuso Voltti for bringing this idea to our attention. Juuso is involved in the The Big Ask campaign in Finland, and we're sure they could use your support, so please check it out!

When you check off these goals from the weekly goal interface, there is a little "info" icon that has more information about each charity, and a link to their web site.

Also, Green Groove has set up a quick and easy donation link, via paypal. In an effort to help us keep the lights on (compact flourescents), you can make a donation to Green Groove by clicking here, or using the donation link in left hand side column of the web site. Thanks, and go make some donations! There are a lot of hardworking people, and causes, out there that just need a few bucks to keep things moving along.
