A new initiative by donatemate.com[donatemate.com] aims to bolster word of mouth marketing by
creating an incentive for users to send links of web sites to their friends. The funds are
gathered from the web sites that install a special "send-to-a-friend, help the community"
button in their site. At the end of each month, users that sent links of web pages of
participating sites, receive credits that they can donate to charities that are listed in the web
site.
From the page: "
"DDT, along with a lot of other of these organic contaminants, actually travel through the atmosphere ... toward the polar regions by a process of evaporation and then condensation in cooler climates," said Heidi Geisz, a scientist of the Institute.
DDT intake in Adelie penguins results through eating tiny creatures called krill that live in melted glacier waters, but the amount of the pesticide is not enough to hurt the birds, Geisz explained.
DDT was used in World War II to clear South Pacific islands of malaria-causing insects, protecting US troops and in Europe it was employed as a de-lousing powder, but it was banned by the United States in 1972. The World Health Organization approved it in 2006 to fight malaria indoors. "
