Frequently Asked Questions About The Environment Site.org

1. What happens when I click on the "donate" button?

Your donation is completely FREE. When you click on the "donate" button, our computer adds your donation to the day’s totals and sends you the "Thank You" page. This page shows you the name of the sponsor or sponsors who will pay for your donation. There is absolutely no charge to you.

2. How much do sponsors pay when I click on the "donate " button?

Each sponsor contributes £1 per day. Therefore, when there are 10 sponsors on the site, your clicks are worth £10 per day.

3. Why are the sponsors willing to pay for these donations?

Innovative companies in the new millennium are recognising the need for triple bottom line reporting - that is, making an environmental AND social contribution, as well as being financially responsible. Showcasing these activities is part of telling the full story about the values and goals of these organisations.

4. How often can I make a free donation?

You can make one donation every day. Try “bookmarking” www.theenvironmentsite.org as one of your favorites. It should only take you a few seconds each day to make a free donation.

5. Can I just keep clicking on the "donate" button and make unlimited donations?

Agreements with our sponsors mean that they pay a flat fee of £1 per day for sponsorship of The Environment Site. Therefore the donation is not increased by repeated click throughs.

6. Can I help The Environment Site.org to find sponsors?

The more sponsors we have, the more we can do to help the environment. You can help us find more sponsors by letting potentially interested companies know about The Environment Site. Facts relevant to sponsors appear on our “Sponsors” page. Feel free to print these details and approach your company or other companies to propose that they consider sponsoring The Environment Site. We really appreciate your assistance in helping us to find more sponsors.

8. What is The Environment Site.org privacy policy?

The Environment Site.org respects the privacy of its visitors and supporters. All personal information given to The Environment Site will not be passed on to any third party organisations.

9. What is The Environment Site.org spam policy?

We respectfully request that you do not send unsolicited messages promoting The Environment Site.org to people you do not know. We understand that this is done with good intentions. However, anything that is regarded as unsolicited spam is not helping our cause ; it may have the opposite effect of alienating people who might otherwise have visited The Environment Site.org.

10. Is it worth my while to make a donation every day?

The Environment Site.org is a collective effort and the cumulative effect of tens of thousands of people donating every day is substantial. Please consider the relative worth of your donation. It may not appear to be very significant when considered in isolation. However, when combined with the collective efforts of others, together you can make dramatic improvements to the environment.

11. Can I make a financial donation directly to The Environment Site?

The Environment Site works to raise money for the Surrey Wildlife Trust. If you wish to donate money directly to them please visit their website for details on how to do this.
