Web site for the idealist

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could make the world a better place? That’s an idealistic thought, perhaps, but it is possible to aim toward that goal. IdealsWork, at www.idealswork.com, is a site created by three friends who wanted to establish a way to empower people who are thoughtful about social and environmental issues. The interactive Compare Brands section allows you to get a list of companies, ranked by their position or activities on the environment, labor, the workplace and many other important issues. Brief and relevant articles are located throughout the site for quick reference and informational tidbits. There is even a section that allows you to contact companies with environmentally irresponsible practices and tell them what you think. A tip on how to get removed from junk mailing lists is another example of the helpful hints offered by this thoughtful and thought-provoking site.
