Here at rectifi, where you can raise money for charity free every time you shop online or search the web, we're about to celebrate our birthday, and we want you to join us.

Since we've launched we've raised over £18,000 for charity while saving our users thousands on their online shopping. Whenever you use rectifi for your shopping up to 20% of what you spend is donated to charity at no cost whatsoever to you!

We all know that how you spend your money can have a big impact on issues of social conscience - buying the right clothes means you don't give money to those operating sweatshops, buying - or not buying - the right products can mean great benefits to the environment and boycotting companies due to their policies can effect change.

One of the best ways you can cut your impact on the environment is to make the switch to a green electricity supplier or tariff. Currently in the UK all electricity firms must generate a certain percentage of electricity, however there are many firms that offer 100% green electricity supplies.

Since almost all usages of energy in the home that isn't related to heating is electricty consumption, switching to a supplier that generates their electricity from 100% renewable sources such as solar, wind or tidal/wave energy will mean a dramatic cut in your personal emissions and a reduction in climate change worldwide.

We all know its time to make a change in our lives to fight climate change and the decay of our environment, but often the scale of the problem is so immense we get overwhelmed and end up thinking action is pointless, that there is little we can do to stop it.

The IMRG - the UK's body of online shops - have today announced that UK shoppers will spend a spectacular £7bn online this Christmas, up 40% from last year.

This massive increase not only shows how many more people are shopping online year on year, but the enormous amount we spend on christmas presents - with internet sales alone dwarfing the £5.9bn the UK government spent on overseas aid to developing countries last year.

Welcome back to rectifi, the only website that allows you to raise money for charity as you shop online, search the web or take part in ebay auctions!

 

We've had a fairly major overhaul here at rectifi, not just giving the design of the site a long-overdue overhaul to make it more attractive and easier to approach, but adding some great new features too, such as social networking, blogs, content creation, stats on how much money you have raised, and wishlists so you can not only tell friends and family what you want for Christmas but get them to raise money for charity when they get it, too!
