Charity is something the blessed people do in order to make the lives of not so blessed people somewhat better. Some charities we humans do to make our environment better; we call them the Environmental Charities or the Green charities. A charity done by a person shows his kind heart and good nature. However, people today fear doing charities because some culprits and frauds have made charity impure, as in the money and things that people donate for some cause, they hardly reach their destination because some intermediaries and the authorities consume all that for their selfish goals.
This is why many people today think twice before actually making a donation. No fraud takes place in charities that are associated with organizations such as Charity Navigator, Charity Watch and like because these organizations work as a watchdog and ensure that all the charity and donations are reaching their true destination. Following is a list of some environmental charities on whom you can trust and make a difference in the environment with your charities:
