Save the Planet

I use facebook and with over 175 million users I am sure many of the people in the class have an account. Recently I found an application, through a friend, called Save the Planet. This application allows people to log in and earn "lunch money" which can then be used to "save the planet" in whatever way you choose. There are several options where you can spend your lunch money which includes removing ounces of CO2 from the atmosphere through carbonfund.org, buying rice for the hungry through the World Food Programme with the United Nations, and saving a square foot of rainforest through Conservation International. To earn this lunch money you can just log in every day and earn up to one million lunch money dollars or you can play games on the site. These games are easy and fun and are good for when you need a break from studying.

I think this is an easy way for students, and now everyone on facebook, to help solve some of the problems that are important to them. In five to ten minutes a day I can make another million dollars in lunch money and with the million from logging in I can remove 107 ounces of CO2 from the atmosphere. Check it out!
