5. Avaaz isn't just 'an environmental group', and I urge you all to check them out. I signed up a year

or two ago - www.avaaz.org - and they require no dues/contributions, DON'T bother you often, but get people around the world to send emails once in a while on big & important issues - social, environmental, I forget what all, but again, check them out.
