Going green and convincing others to do the same can be tough. But it can also be unbelievably easy. Most people you know are probably sympathetic to issues like the destruction of the world's rainforests, but they just don't have any time to volunteer or a ton of spare cash to donate. And most people certainly can't physically replant the rainforests themselves, either. It seems there's just nothing they can feasibly do. Correction: there used to be nothing they could feasibly do. Allow us to present to you quite possibly the absolute easiest way you can help to save the rainforest.

How to Save the Rainforest in 15 Seconds a Day

  1. Open your internet browser.

  2. Go to the Rainforest Site online.

  3. Click the button that reads "Click Here to Give."

    1. Congratulations. You have now helped to save the rainforests. Seriously. Every time you click, it bolsters the number of page views the site gets, which increases the advertising revenue it receives. And the site's curators give all of that revenue to a charity focused on preserving the rainforest. Plus, if you want to give more, all of the advertisers listed on the site sell green-friendly goods, and they donate a portion of their proceeds to the same cause. And there you have it—one click a day, which amounts to a whopping 15 seconds or so of your time, and you're doing your part. It couldn’t be easier.
