Green Social Networking, Tree-Nation

Plenty Magazine has a post on green social networking sites. I'm not much of a social networker, at least not actively, but I did find Tree-Nation pretty interesting. The idea is not so much social networking as to raise money to plant eight million trees in Niger against desertification. For between 10 and 75 Euros you can pay for a tree to be planted. The community side does seem to have some weight, as I gathered from looking at their Digg style eco-news pages with various stories and sprinkling of votes.
