Never heard of this site until launch date... Looks like an bunch of advertisers selling "green to make green".
It did not show up as a site until august 2007... I am more than a little skeptical.
I would easily say the vast majority of all "Eco-Causes" are started and financed through marketing companies and individuals jumping on the "green bandwagon" to get in the media circle.
The money goes to short lived "Eco-Causes" redirects critical funding from proven viable environmental programs while billions of your dollars are taken for pseudo-"Eco-Causes" that continue to erode our climate, economy and lives... Historically media and politicians have whored out environmental programs & media blitz campaigns to "GreenWash" individuals into "buying into" unsustainable energy, transportation and regulatory programs to meet counter environmental agendas (.i.e ethanol & hydrogen highways).
Never the less, I thought I would list the event, just in case they turn out to do something useful with their money.
They did have a contribution area that does offer "blog to charity" actions that appear to help. http://blogactionday.org/charities
