In less than one month alonovo.com, the intelligent marketplace will be born.
The alonovo.com community will be able to begin to redirect consumer spend to businesses that are balancing people, planet and profits. We facilitate this through an easy-to-use online shopping website with an integrated database of companies, products, brands and trusted social-responsibility data. And because we share our revenue with an organization you choose, use of alonovo.com will directly benefit many stellar non-profit organizations which provide immediate and direct relief to their local, national and global communities.
What's new:
* Our founder appeared as a guest on Air America Radio.
