DISQUS

Thanks much, we hope this benefits your business as well. FYI, 25 cents of every app sold goes to 5 different green/environmental NGOs, Natural Capital Solutions, EarthShare, Orangutan Rescue, Wiser Earth, and Heart Of The World. We are going to steadily increase what you get with the app, first up later this month being the inclusion of 3 news channels, MNN Local, CSRWire and Creative Citizen sourced Eco Matters, which is news coupled with actions you can take. And that's just the start :)

@Paul

Thanks for the comment. The 25 cent give back definately takes the bite off!!!

Yes, and the fact that three of those orgs were entirely nominated and voted on by people like yourself, from around world. And we'll be doing it again.

Hi - thank you for your write up, I appreciate it! I just wanted to clarify something else too - company's DON'T have to pay to be on GenGreen. Yes, there is a option for businesses who choose to pay to have additional viability and get certified, (vs. just being approved by our content team) but that is not a requirement to be listed in our database.
I wish there was a way to have a free database and free app downloads, but until advertising revenue returns to our online worlds, charging something for it is the only way we can keep creating things that help make the world a better place.

Thanks Charisse, I posted a clarification.
