Do much searching on the web? Instead of automatically, unconsciously using Google, try out GoodSearch instead - and give to the PCTA (or another charity) at the same time... Idea Just a reminder from the December issue of the PCT "Communicator"...
Go to <http://www.goodsearch.com/default.aspx>, type in "pacific crest" under "WHO DO YOU GOODSEARCH FOR?", then select "Pacific Crest Trail Association (Sacramento, CA)", then click on the "verify" button... Now go ahead and search the web... As long as your browser is open, GoodSearch will retain the PCTA as your selected charity... Or perhaps you will want to 'share the wealth' and select other charities at times...:confused:
If you shop online, check out the GoodSearch "Shopping", also... Select "Sports & Outdoors" under categories to see participating merchants and %age donation... Do you feel just a little guilt buying PCT books from Amazon (instead of PCTA) because of the lower price? Then buy them from Amazon, but through GoodSearch Shopping - you will donate to the PCTA, too! And REI, Backcountry, and many other merchants are there, too, waiting to donate... Check it out!:D
Don't forget to add GoodSearch to your browser tool bar (and 'hide' that Google button)... ;)
Give to the trail (PCTA) - or another charity of your choosing, "every penny counts"...
Thank you. Happy trails!!! :cool:
