TripAdvisor is donating $1 million to 5 great causes, and they're asking you to help them decide how to allocate it!
The charities are listed above - I voted for The Nature Conservancy because Jonathan Colman asked me.
Here's the description from Trip Advisor about why they are doing it.
As you know, we believe in the power of the collective voice – from the hotel reviews you write to the restaurants you rate. And, we know that nobody’s more passionate about travel than you, our community. That’s why we want you to tell us where this gift should go. These organizations are helping the people and places you encounter when you travel.
The polls are open! Vote today at tripadvisor.com/Causes
And thanks!
Thanks so much for blogging this, Beth. I'm urging everyone out there to vote for The Nature Conservancy so that we can do even more conservation that benefits nature and people all around the world.
But no matter who you vote for, let your voice be heard. Vote for your personal favorite charity at http://www.tripadvisor.com/Causes now! :)

Four mentions of the sponsor's name in one post. If all the other blogs and emails are like this, I guess they're getting their million dollars worth of advertising.
I didn't see Greenpeace or Amnesty International listed among the charities, so I didn't vote (I like my charities edgy, not safe and conservative).
