I really do want to do good things -- volunteer, donate, etc. But I always seem to find something more pressing to do with my time and money. Separately (you'll see how this thought is related in a sec) I love to find short cuts. I don't like any recipes with more than 5 ingredients -- even better if they come prepared or can just be dumped into a crock pot, most of my "beauty" products do double duty like foundation with spf in it, soap with anti-wrinkle cream, etc.
So, taking those two characteristics I found these super easy ways to do some good without taking much time or any money. Thanks to Critter and Redbook for doing the research for me!
www.freerice.com -- it's a fun vocabulary quiz, for each word you get right it donates rice through the United Nations World Food Program.
www.goodsearch.com -- a search engine that gives one cent to the charity of your choice each time you do a search. It's powered by Yahoo Search, so the results are good. The hard part is picking a charity from the thousands of participants.
www.thebreastcancersite.com -- all you have to do is click a link and sponsors donate money toward free mammograms. It's part of a family of sites that follow the same model to donate money toward world hunger, child healthcare, literacy, animal rescue, etc. So easy.
www.care2.com -- I haven't played with this one yet but figure I'll mention it anyway. You sign online petitions on any number of issues.
Hope y'all will find this info useful, too. Click away. It might make a difference in someone's life.
Thanks!
