Today is Blog Action Day, when a whole bunch of willing bloggers write about one issue, and this year's topic is poverty. How can you fight poverty and go green? Well...
I don't know about you, but I'm getting to that point of realizing I have a bunch of unused stuff lying around my house and clogging up closets, the garage, and our basement. Rather than doing a big sweep and tossing these perfectly good items in the trash, I'm gearing up for a garage sale. I've never had one before, and it's high time. And I'm planning to donate the first $25 the sale earns to Heifer International, a non-profit organization whose goal is to help end world hunger and poverty through self-reliance & sustainability. Clean, green, and charitable -- garage sales could really help the world! And, y'know, your clutter issue.

Awesome idea and thanks for getting involved!
Saw your link from Blog Action Day. Sounds like a great plan!
cool. good of you to do. :)
for my part, i turn to sites like freerice (rice donation), kiva (microfinance), and goodsearch (donation per search), as ways to help alleviate poverty online. i also put up their banners on my blog. :)
