(even though I never have before in my 15 years here). I clicked the link, though, and then didn't alert.

they should actually read the material at the link before alerting on it. Sometimes the knees jerk and the alert finger twitches a bit too quickly.

Yet I came very close to alerting in this post before clicking the link just to be sure, cuz that's how I roll.

I think most people won't click such a link.

choose the autism non profit and give them your email

You will receive a daily reminder to go into the site and click on each of the non profits (autism, literacy, rain forest, diabetes, breast cancer, alzheimer's, pets in shelters, and veterans) as well as Greater Good's home site. These no cost clicks trigger donations to the cause.

Shop the catalog. When you check out, the amount your order sponsors will show.
Literacy donates books to children; Pets donates food to animals in shelters, and so on.

I do this every day, and shop the catalog for birthdays and Christmas. Many of their items are made by women's cooperatives in third world countries. The catalog features a wide variety of merchandise: clothing, home/kitchen, gardening, jewelry, food items (some amazing cocoa which I don't order often but love)

In the 1990's my two grandson's were afflicted with varying degrees of autism related to the Mercury in vaccines. I was a Public Health Nurse at the time and made home visits to families with children with autism they blamed on vaccines. We in the medical profession did not believe the parents but now I am not so sure. Mercury is no longer used in vaccines.

The kind of mercury once used in vaccines is ethyl mercury, which the body clears out of the system very quickly, thereby posing no risk for brain damage. The kind of mercury which most often causes brain damage is methyl mercury, which is used in heavy industry, but which has never been used in vaccines.
