| Greening Your Year End Charitable Contributions | | 2007-12-13 15:29:00 | | Another year almost over. 2007. Gone. Pretty soon, the dreaded tax season will be upon us. Now is a great time to consider offsetting your tax burden by making charitable donations. If you do already, consider rearranging your allocations towards the environment.

Here are a few that I found worth mentioning:Carbonfund.org. Their motto is "Reduce What You Can, Offset What You Can't."

Go to www.Greenpeace.org.Natural Resources Defense Council. The NRDC is an environmental action organization that utilizes science, law, and the support of 1.2 million members and online activists to protect the Earth and all living things. Worth Magazine put them on their "Top 100 Charities" list and the New York Times calls them "one of the nation's most powerful environmental groups."
