"Birds will give you a window, if you allow them. They will show you secrets from another world - fresh vision that, though it is avian, can accompany you home and alter your life. They will do this for you even if you don't know their names - though such knowing is a thoughtful gesture. They will do this for you if you watch them." ~ Lyanda Lynn Haupt, Rare Encounters with Ordinary Birds

Dawn Saves Wildlife: I don't trade in brand loyalty, most of the time. I've used Crest since I was a kid, and I don't switch because of inertia, mostly. I drink a fair amount of Starbucks coffee, but there's better elsewhere. I like my Honda a lot, but if Mini came out with an electric model that was readily available where I live, I would buy one in a heartbeat. I seek out and use Dawn, though, and here's why: it does a reasonably good job on the dishes, but they donate Dawn to the IBRRC to help clean oiled birds and they have promotions like this, where they donate a certain amount per bottle purchased (you have to activate the donation online, which is a little bit weird, but whatever).
Notice to corporations: if you do something to become part of the solution, you have a much better chance of winning my dollars.
