the bite
With a little fancy finger work, Biters can help save the planet. Massage your index finger and click over to one of the web's many no-cost donation sites.
the benefits
  • New ad-supported websites let you click on ads to save the rainforest, fund AIDS research, purchase books for kids, and more.
  • Bored to death at work? Fuel extra minutes into saving the earth for an instant boredom killer.
  • It's freakin' free.
personally speaking
Before becoming master of all things technical at Ideal Bite, Brett had a job where he spent half his time IM'ing friends and reading tech blogs. Think of the rainforest he could've saved if this tip had existed back then!
