FREERICE.COM - ANSWER RIGHT, DONATE RICE; HAVE FUN AND HELP END HUNGER AT THE SAME TIME

The LA Report's no-brainer do-gooder site of the day: FreeRice.com. Have an entertaining time while learning new words and helping the planet. In the FreeRice online game, you see a word and must decide which of four possible meanings (words or phrases) best defines that word. Answer correctly, and FreeRice donates rice; every right answer means FreeRice.com donates 20 grains of rice through the UN World Food Program, to help end hunger. You can keep playing (matching up definitions for new words) as long as you like. It's fun, educational, and helps other people; what could be better? Go now!

(If 20 grains of rice doesn't sound like much, remember the power of Collective Action, repeated often. The power of many people acting together for a unified purpose is a very potent force indeed -- and that is something the Internet excels at. Example: according to the FreeRice site, 86,732,200 grains of rice were donated yesterday alone.)
