Do More Than Poke Someone on Facebook

Thinking of doing some spring cleaning? Why not sell your old coffee maker on the new Facebook Marketplace? You can list any item and designate the money to go to the Sierra Club, the Clean Water Fund, or the World Wildlife Fund, Inc . Those are just three of the many organizations you can designate your money for.

Just go to Facebook Marketplace and list your item, how much you'd like to sell it for, and for which organization you'd like the proceeds to go to. Facebook helps by providing a list of organizations; just click on "causes".

Just think, if every person on Facebook posted just one item for $10, more than $1 billion would be raised! Celebrities are getting involved as well. Thursday, March 12, Seal will sell five autographed CDs to benefit the Sierra Club Foundation.

Reselling and reusing keeps stuff out of landfills and casts an important vote for how you spend your dollars.
