Very interesting indeed. I just donated 1,100 grains of rice and learned a few new words. :)

Well yesterday in a few minutes, I fed a person for a day. And do you give more than them? And do you realize that it's only the publicities (which ou generate by visiting the website, where the ads are) that generates money. The UN has nothing to do with that except go and distribute the rice.

Tell me: do you do better?

[Annamariah]

That's a nice idea!

I'm really surprised of how many words I actually know, since English is not my first language :)

Cool, but I bet the rice is going to get donated whether you play or not.

Cool, but I bet the rice is going to get donated whether you play or not.

The rice is bought with the money from the ads. And guess how are ads paid? The more the website is used, the more the ads are lucrative... (ads don't pay on a fixed number basis).

I love these types of sites!

[Weisinheimer]

Yay! :)

http://www.ethicle.com/ Here is another one, it's Google but for each search there is 1c donated to organisms (you can choose). Pretty sweet. It might not seem that much (after 100 searches you have given 1$!?) But when you consider th amount of searches made everyday on regular Google... and it costs no effort.
