3 Easy Ways To Fight Hunger


Today is Blog Action Day 2008 and bloggers all around the world are discussing Poverty today. More than ever, the internet has allowed people to come together and take action quickly and effectively. While "end world hunger" has become a cliche in many ways, the possibility of reaching such a goal is more in reach than ever. Here are 3 easy ways to fight hunger on Blog Action Day (or really any day):

1. The Hunger Site - Using click-on ads that generate revenue, The Hunger Site gives all its click-on ad money to international food organizations. Every click provides the equivalent of 1.1 cups of food.

2. AidToChildren.com - Similar to FreeRice.com, AidToChildren.com uses an addicting vocab quiz to donate money towards hunger relief organizations. Every 4 correct answers equals 1 cent, and 25 cents provides one meal.

3. FeedThemWithMusic.com - Go to the site and buy the song of the week or full album. Each song provides one meal and each album provides 10 meals. If you are a musician, donate a song to be used for the project and featured for download on the site.

The most important part about today is that everyone does something. It's only all together that a difference can be made.
