It seems like there is this surge of opportunities to use things you would do anyway and the power of the advertising dollar to actually do something good.

I have been using the iripple application on facebook (you can also click straight from the site) and it makes me feel a smidge better about the procrastinating that I am usually doing while on facebook.

    

I also came across www.freerice.com  and like facebook, it is a bit of time sucker but at least it is for a good cause and I always feel smarter after playing on there for awhile. I am sure there are more sites like this out there so if you know of any please share!

Most recently I heard about charity search engines which donate to charity with every search you make from their site. I found a few lists of the different options one here and one here.  There are lots of options, and it is such a simple thing that I do anyways it seems silly not to use them.

So….just a few things that might help out a little in the big picture. Happy Clicking!
