You Can Make A Difference Today!

Sep-20-2008 By Barbara Zak

I love it when a great cause has several different advantages to it.  Facebook doesn’t make it easy for you to join a page and invite your friends. However, iChapters has created a group for you to use to invite your friends to their second annual Plant a Tree Drive.  With just a few clicks you can tell your friends and help them reach their goal of planting 100,000 trees. You need to do this by September 22, 2008.

Go Here to their fan page

It’s that simple! If you would like to do more than be a fan, you can take the Environmental Quiz or buy digital textbooks from iChapters. Everyone who becomes a fan at the iChapters Page is also automatically entered for a chance to win a $1,000 iChapters Scholarship.

If you are a student you can champion the cause of helping the environment and your wallet as well. iChapters is the best choice for making college more affordable. You save up to 15% on print books and textbooks, e-books are always 50% off, and single chapters and audio-books are as low as $1.99.
