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.
There are several environmental benefits to using LocalAdPages.coms classifieds. Traditional newspaper classifieds are costly. LocalAdPages.coms services are free and do not generate paper waste.
