Looking for a way to talk about your environmental passions online, and maybe raise some money in the process? The World Wildlife Fund has a new program called Panda Pages to help you do just that. With just a few clicks of your mouse, you can quickly and easily create a free, customized web page that spreads your green messages, be they about a specific event, a special location, an endangered animal, or just about anything else.

You can also use the page to raise funds for the WWF. A simple interface allows you to email your friends and family about your site, and you can set a fundraising goal for your efforts.

You can also create a guest book so people can comment on your site and you can make connections with other, like-minded green folks.

I've given this a try, and while the pages you can create aren't totally flexible, you do have a lot of room to play with to customize your content and your message. The "tell a friend" and fund-raising tools are easy to use, too. In less than ten minutes, you can have a web page up and running and a fund-raising campaign on its way.

You can check out my own Panda Page here. And if you create your own Panda Page, post the address here in the comments!
