Micro-Lending

When Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for pioneering micro-lending programs in India, it focused attention on this wildly successful practice that's spreading around the world. Organizations like Kiva - Loans that Change Lives connect small lenders with individual entrepreneurs in the developing world for whom a relatively small amount of money can make an enormous difference.

Becoming Carbon Neutral

Look at your personal impact on global warming by calculating how much carbon dioxide your activities generate each year, and learn what you can do to reduce or even eliminate those emissions. Go to the website for the documentary An Inconvenient Truth and click on Take Action.
