It must be about time I plugged this again. Donate to charity at zero cost to yourselves by purchasing absolutely as per normal via Amazon. Your donations are not going to change the face of world poverty, or cure cancer, not on their own anyway. It all adds up though, and it's all money the charity of your choice wouldn't have had if you hadn't taken 2 minutes to click an option or two. I've been doing it for quite a while now, and there's really no excuse not to do it yourselves.
n.b. I don't know what the signup is like these days, but when I joined there was a dropdown list of charities, and not much mention made of the fact that you didn't have to choose one of them, and you could insert your own choice of charity.
