LocalAdPages.com Goes "Green" to Combat Global Warming
Free Classifieds web site to donate ten percent of ad revenue to Environmental Charities
TORONTO, Ontario, February 2, 2007 � Using online classifieds helps the environment by reducing paper waste,
but LocalAdPages.com is taking things one step further by donating ten percent of all their advertising revenue
to three charities leading the way in the race to end global warming.
LocalAdPages.com is a free, local, classifieds Web site that is �going green.� �It just makes sense,� says Kara Shebib,
co-founder. �By reselling previously enjoyed items like cars, furniture, electronics and clothing, our users are already
diverting it from landfills and helping the earth. We want to take it to another level and provide an opportunity for
advertisers to help as well.�
Ten percent of all advertising revenue will be divided between Greenpeace, World Wildlife Fund and the David Suzuki
Foundation in support of their efforts to stop climate change. �There is a very real and measurable threat to our earth
and our lives right now. We are compelled to take action and grateful to have this opportunity through our Web site,�
says Theresa Shebib, co-founder.
There are several environmental benefits to using LocalAdPages.com�s classifieds. Traditional newspaper classifieds
are costly. LocalAdPages.com�s services are free and do not generate paper waste. Sellers can network with buyers
to purchase or trade unwanted items, diverting them from landfills. Additionally, local searching allows the buyer to
meet the seller in person, reducing any need for shipping and packaging materials.
LocalAdPages.com is socially conscious. Its founders have volunteered with medical brigades in Honduras, have
worked for non-profits, and sponsor children through World Vision. �Going green� with Web site advertising takes
their social and environmental consciousness one step further.
Global change requires individual effort. LocalAdPages.com is dedicated to enabling individuals to help shape the
landscape of the earth for generations to come. To learn more about how using LocalAdPages.com can make a
