Welcome! I started Care2, back in 1998, to help make the world a better place. The idea is simple: Make it easy for everyone to live a healthy, green lifestyle and impact the causes they care about most … (about 1\/2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

About 2\/2<\/a>: … The seeds for Care2 were planted many years ago. I was 13 years old, traveling up the Amazon with my father in a thatch-covered boat. My father, an ornithologist, studied the birds, while I marveled at the rich wildlife, lush vegetation and fascinating people we encountered deep in the jungle. <\/p>\n

What struck me most was the contrast between the remote tribes living in harmony with the rainforest, and the poverty and deforestation in the most \u00ab\u00a0modernized\u00a0\u00bb towns we visited. I realized the world was terribly out of balance. From that truth, an overwhelming desire to make a difference was born. I believed the power to make a positive change in the world was within each of us. But how could we harness that power?<\/p>\n

The answer came in 1998. The Internet. Finally, the power to mobilize the world was at hand. I raised money from some kind and crazy souls, and then really lucked out in finding two extraordinary partners — Matt McGlynn (now our chief technology officer) and Camilla Eriksson (now our vice president of eCards). In September 1998, we launched Care2 from my tiny apartment.<\/p>\n

Care2 provides powerful tools to make a difference in your life, your community, and the world. Our website is driven by passionate people (like you) who want to restore the world’s balance. We pride ourselves on being a different kind of company. As a certified Benefit Corporation (B-corp), we\u2019re committed to using the power of business to make a positive social and earth-friendly impact on the world.<\/p>\n

Care2 grew out of my apartment a long time ago. Today we are more than 50 employees, 11 million members, 400 nonprofit partners and hundreds of responsible advertisers making a difference.<\/p>\n

Thank you for caring! President and CEO, Care2.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
