Save the world, one grain at a time

Reckon you have a pretty good vocabulary? Well why are you wasting it pontificating at dinner parties and bashing out screeds on a blog no one will read? You could be feeding starving children in Africa. Literally!

FreeRice [1] is an online game that does more than test the rectitude of your lexicon. For every word you correctly define (multiple choice), the UN’s World Food Programme donates 20 grains of rice to needy people somewhere around the globe. Money to buy and distribute the rice is provided by companies advertising on the website.

Being smart never felt so good. Forget billable hours. Get over to FeedRice and knock out a few ‘bagable’ hours each week. The world will thank you.
