I love online shopping and I also love Ecards. I also love to find places that I can go and learn about the environment. And I have finally found one that I can do all of the above and I would like to share that with you all.
This place is wonderful!!!
http://www.care2.com
Joining is free and you need to join to send Ecards and use various other features of the site. Across the top of the home page you will find links that will take you to: Ecards, Healthy Living, Shopping, News, Community, Green Pages, Eco Info, and Take Action.
On the left hand side you will find some of these same links with sub categories underneath them that will take you to various information on the site. For instance I wanted to know more about Healthy Pets so after clicking that link I was taken to a different page that gave me information on Adoption and Services for pets, Everyday Pet Care, Remedies and Treatments and Share. And each of these Titles has sub titles underneath. While on my quest of Healthy Pets I clicked the link about Heat Sensitivity and found ways to help my Black Lab Luna to deal with all of the Florida heat. Poor baby, she stays so hot and finds her way under our home to cool down. I found ways to help her not to be so hot.
I can easily access the homepage from any page that I am visiting within the site. After finding what I was looking for to help out Luna I went back to the homepage to go to the Ecards. I wanted to see what was available to send out to my family and friends as needed.
They have this great Ecard section full of choices in Ecards for all occasions, birthday, holidays, anniversaries and others. I found this wonderful “fuzzy hug” to send to my April. I had the option to choose from various songs, colors and imagines. And I could write my own words just for her. It was really cool being able to choose the music I wanted to with her Ecard. And it was free!
I also have the option to use their address book to keep up with all my email addresses. And I can also choose to get a free email address with https://care2.com, which I chose not to do because I don’t need it. But should I change my mind I know that I will be able to do this feature at any time.
And you can also send photos of your family, friends and pets as well. And you can choose from various screensavers if you would like to have a new one on your computer. They are really cool!
Other Stuff
Back at the homepage you will find down the middle links that will keep you informed of various topics like: Today in Care2, Featured Non Profit, Healing Pet Massage and ecard of the day! These links will take you to other pages that are very educational and full of helpful information or just some fun.
These sometimes change daily so I have gotten in the habit of checking them out once a day. https://care2.com even had an article on helping to end breast cancer and this article touched me.
On the right hand side of the homepage you will find a poll to take daily and information on World and Eco News (Which can change daily) Care2 have some fun and the stocks once again.
You can even make an icon for your desktop or make Care2 your homepage within your browser if you would like to do so. And they also offer a search engine where you can try and locate specific information about your interest or concerns on the world, health, animals, etc.
Company Info
Care2 was founded in 1998. Their goal is to inform the consumer about Environment Networks. There are over 2 million Consumers looking for Non Profit Organizations and Eco Oriented Corporations, which you can find this information easily throughout their website. You can find out so much more in the “About Us” section.
You can write or call them at:
Care2 Headquarters
535 Middlefield Road, Suite #200
Menlo Park, CA 94025
Phone: (650) 328-0198
You can go to the “Questions” section and find out a lot more about the site and what they stand for. I highly recommend doing this. It’s very informative and really helpful.
How I Feel
My Gosh!!! There are so many things that I wanted to talk about but there is not enough space to do so! I really am so glad that I came across this site! I have learned a lot about the environment and how to take better care of my dog Luna.
Under the “Green Pages” I found them to be very interesting because on this page I found various categories like home, garden, food/beverage, home rentals and others where I could find out information under each topic. Also, members of the site can post rentals here. And so much more!
And the community link took me to where I could meet other members of the site, leave post and just talk.
I think it’s great to have a place like this online. It is very family oriented I thought and I highly recommend that all go and have a look around. And the green colors that Care2 uses throughout the site are very pleasant to look at. Not loud in color like some websites.
I also enjoyed “clicking links” to help save the environment. How this works is that by clicking on the links under the “Take Action” section, advertisers will pay a percentage in going towards the environment in some kind of way. Places like the Rain Forest, Big Cats, Oceans and Breast Cancer. You can also make a personal donation if you would like to do so. you can sign petitions online for various things like saving the whales, or stopping cruelty to animals and others. Be sure and check this section out when you go to https://care2.com.
And I liked being informed about the Global Warming and Bird Watching. I also signed up for the free newsletter. There is just so much to do at this place and I could talk about it for a while. But I shall close here and let you go and explore for yourself. Have fun!
I hope that this helps in some kind of way.
God Bless!
