This is probably a scam of some kind. And even if it's not - a few square feet is nothing.

From everything I've heard this is not a scam. Scams usually involve asking you for your money. I have cliched there since last year and with a million people clicking a day that could add up to a lot more rain forests being save than just a few square feet. I click all the other places in that website too. What can it hurt? It just takes a minute of your day really.

I don't think it is a scam.
And the money comes from the ads displayed on the pages...

Only takes a second.

It might be along the lines of a report of awareness and care, that can be shown. After all, if noone shows an intrest, buisness might think noone cares. This might slow them down at the very least.

Yeah, i'll click it.

I've seen it before. A good site; I clicked.

I clicked, but how much money does it take to save that much rain forest?

Probably less than few cents...

Its not a scam and theres several websites talking about/confirming that it indeed isnt a scam. I made a post about the hunger version of this site in astral pulse but cant be stuffed finding it...

I'm almost certain this is not a scam. It probably works that for every person that clicks the thing, businesses donate a certain amount of money to the site (I'm not sure, I didn't really read it). Think about it, if you click everyday for a year, thats 4161 sq feet a year, and if over 1000 people click every day for a year... Thats a lot of rainforest! SO PLEASE CLICK!!

The sponsors pay for advertising in the form of banner ads on the page, which in turn fund the charity.

This site is linked with Hunger Site what i have bookmarked long time ago. There are some 6 different sites linked with each other, and spending 10 seconds every day by clicking then doesn't hurt anyone
