  Things we care about... and hope you will, too.
    (We'll add a new one each update starting with Migrations 14)
 
  Charity Navigator
We need to give to non-profits. But there are so many, how do you know if your money is being used properly? Charity Navigator is a great tool. Check out over 5,000 charities before you donate. If you like their service, consider supporting Charity Navigator as well.
  
  National Resources Defense Council
Who stands between corporate greed and the destruction of the environment? The NRDC, that's who. They also work to stop our government from destroying our own country's precious wildlife and resources. An incredibly effective organization that uses the law, science and members' actions to keep the bad guys at bay. I've been a member for over 20 years. You could be a member, too.
  
  Heifer International
When he was about 8, Elliot Jensen, my best friends Steve and Shirley's son, bought a goat with the money he got from the tooth fairy (the tooth fairy was very generous). I had never heard of Heifer before. I like that they have recipients "pass on" the gift of the animals' offspring. I often give Heifer gifts at the holidays.
  
 Shark Savers
100 million (that's 100,000,000) sharks are killed every year. Every single year. During that year, about 60 people are bitten, and about five of them die. So why are so many sharks killed? It can't be to keep us safe from shark attacks. The main reason is shark fin soup. Sharks will soon be extinct. As you know, we love diving with sharks. They are magnificent and beautiful creatures, and a crucial element of the marine ecology. At the Shark Savers site you can download brochures to give to restaurant owners who serve shark fin soup. You can sign petitions to ban shark fishing. You can also donate to a great campaign in China -- featuring Yao Ming -- to reduce the demand for shark fin soup.
