In case you hadn’t seen it previously, there’s a button under the image of the earth above labeled “Organizations” which links to the page where we are ongoingly compiling a list of justice-and-compassion-ish organizations which have caught our eye. Feel free to check it out, and to let us know about any other organizations you think should be added to the list.
The latest addition to the list is Cool People Care, Saving the World Five minutes at a time. What an astoundingly Kewl idea! They have lots of ideas for how to help save the world in 5 minutes, which sounds *so* much more doable than just saving the world straight up. You can even sign up for a daily “5 minutes of caring” email.

I went cruising around the Cool People Care site on this recommendation, & besides the ideas on how to help in 5 minute increments, there were some other interesting things, including the bright inspirational poster one screen down on this page. I ordered one. I could have helped more people directly by donating the $15 to a worthy cause, but having this poster staring me in the face every day could result in a higher average daily goodness-output from me - hopefully!

I actually found more sites than I thought, which was a little refreshing.

the poster rocks. I think I’ll use it as a christmas present for certain people.
