5 Cool Things You Can Do RIGHT NOW To Make a Difference

Want to make a difference but don't have time to spend all day doing it?  Check out these 5 quick actions you can take right now to help some great causes:

1. Earn World Shares and Donate Them to Charity
   Sign up to Mother Nature Network's World Shares programme - and next time you're catching up on your green news take the time to share an article, make a comment or sign up for a newsletter (among other actions) to earn World Shares that let you make donations to some very deserving charities.
   
2. How to Make a Difference Toolbar
   Download the How to Make a Difference toolbar - every time you use it you're helping raise money for SALVEASERRA and funding their efforts to restore the Atlantic Forest in Brazil.
   
3. Care2's Butterfly Rewards
   If you're not a member of Care2 already sign up (it only takes a few minutes) and earns you 200 Butterfly points straight away.  You can also earn Butterfly Rewards points by leaving comments, sending e-cards and e-mails and searching the web.  In fact, there are 17 ways to earn points!  And you can redeem them to help fund a loan on Kiva, provide safe drinking water, and feed abandoned cats (along with a few other great causes).
   
4. Take Action on Social Vibe
   It only takes a minute or two to help a friend raise money for their favourite charity on Social Vibe.  Or you can sign up yourself and recruit your own network of friends to support a cause you care about.
   
5. Join 'Mum's Making a Difference'
   If your a Mum and a blogger, then The Mom Bloggers Club is a great place to be.  Take a few moments to sign up and then join the 'Mum's Making a Difference' group and start friendraising for your cause and helping other Mum Bloggers spread the word about the causes that move them!

Feed the Hungry from your Blogger Blog

Check out the great new addition to my sidebar from SocialVibe. You can have one too if you blog with Blogger!

How do I get one? I hear you ask . . .

It couldn't be easier (the hardest thing is choosing which great charity to support!). All you need to do is:

1. From your Blogger dashboard, click the Layout tab. Then, click the Add a Gadget link. Next, click Add your own. In the textfield, add the URL http://www.socialvibe.com/s/blogger/gadget
2. Choose the Cause you want to support from the drop-down list. If you want to customize the size and title, here is where you can do that. You'll see a preview of your badge underneath. When you're satisfied, click Save.
   

When you've got your widget installed come back here and add your blog to the comments so we all know where to go to make a difference!

Oh, and while you're here, don't forget to click on my SocialVibe widget to help end world hunger!
