Everyone has their pet cause. Some people want to help find a cure for cancer, others want to save the rainforest, and still others feel passionately about protecting the black rhino. No matter what your pet cause is, you can contribute through Better The World, a new way to surf the web and earn money for your favorite charity.

We’re all used to seeing ads when we browsing websites, but Better The World gives those ads new meaning by only accepting advertising from socially responsible companies and donating 90% of the revenue to charity. Just pick your charity, install the toolbar, and start contributing. The more people that join and surf, the more money donated.

And if almost effortlessly supporting your favorite charity wasn’t enough, the new Better The World contest is awarding a brand new MacBook to the most active user in may and donating textbooks to a school in Africa on the winner’s behalf.

So pick a charity, any charity, and contribute just by doing your daily web surfing!
