Everyone has had a financial emergency at some point or another. Unfortunately some have no family near to turn to. A payday loan can assist you in getting back in control by giving you a quick loan.

Brad and Angelina donate money to help save the environment

Posted by Pinky Bean on March 24, 2008 6:27 PM Filed Under: Life

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may be busy trying to add enough kids to their household to form their own NHL hockey team, however they still managed to find time to donate more than $8 million to charities in 2006.

One of the organization to benefit from the couple's donations was Global Green USA, a national environmental group that has undertaken three major challenges: creating green buildings and cities to curb the effects of climate change, eliminating weapons of mass destruction that threaten the earth and providing the 2.4 billion people without safe drinking water with access to with clean water.

Last month, Global Green hosted a pre-Oscars party that raised $420,000 with help from celebrities including Adrian Grenier and Salma Hayek.

Other organizations that benefitted from the generosity of Brad and Angelina were Doctors Without Borders and the Global Action for Children (both with $1 million donations), the Namibia Red Cross Action Program ($137,935), the Daniel Pearl Foundation ($100,000) and two orphanages ($5,000 each) that Jolie visited. Of the pair, Brad is the slightly more generous benefactor donating a total of $4,402,317 to Angelina's $4,123,613.

The numbers don't include 2007 donations, in which Brad donated $5 million to the Make It Right Foundation, which is working to build sustainable housing in storm-ravaged New Orleans.

Leafy Green's Tip of the Day For every ton of paint manufactured, ten tons of waste is produced. That's one very good reason to ensure you don't use more paint than you need. Before you start a painting project at home, take the time to measure the area you'll need to cover very accurately and talk to the salespeople at your local paint or building supplies store. They can help ensure you only buy the amount of paint you need for the project.
