I've always been a sucker for the kind of charities that take no effort at all to participate in. I love this one, so I'm going to share it with you all.

these causes. Just because they're charitable like that.
Then it's up to us to fill in the rest of the money. All you need to do is get Windows Messenger Live v8.1 and use it. Microsoft will do the rest.
Here's the official guide on how to start donating, without actually losing a penny from your own pocket.

I love it, I'm personally going to be putting *sierra in my name. Everytime I talk to someone Microsoft is going to donate money to Sierra Club for me.
