BE A CYBERHERO

2008 is a day old and what have you done? That is, besides wake up late and clean up the champagne glasses and confetti? While we don't expect you to have taken much in the way of sponsible action after a night of noisemakers and Ryan Seacrest, we do have a simple way you can do good from the comfort of your own Barcalounger, and it won't cost you anything more than a press of a finger.

By now you've probably been on a few of the sites that plant a tree or save a parcel of rainforest each time they're accessed. Maybe you experienced a sense of satisfaction after clicking on such a site but promptly forgot about the URL. Well, now's your chance to get that warm, fuzzy feeling all over again.

Ecologyfund.com keeps a database of such eco-friendly sites. You can hit links of up to ten of them every day to plant trees, preserve land, and even save the atmosphere.

Thanks to Ecologyfund you've got the chance to make it a happy new year for a host of flora and fauna, not to mention that part of you that gets warm and fuzzy after you've done a good thing.
