I think most of us who always access to internet should have an msn messenger account.
There is a way to for you to make donation while chit chat with your friends.
Go to http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Home/ (i’m MAKING A DIFFERENCE)

Upgrade your msn to live messenger. Place a text code into your display pic.
*help - StopGlobalWarming.org

After you add the text code, you will see the icon as below shows in your display name.

Then you can start to help the world while chit chats with your friends. :P
This is because Microsoft will donate a portion of the program's advertising revenue to the organization. Starts do it now because it won’t “eat” your money, you just continue your IM with friends but you did a good job as well.

Although this activities is only for US resident, but we are hopping it can spread to around the world.
By the way, I saw a blog before which telling us the “trick” to become US resident which is change your info in msn account to US country. Actually I’m don’t know this is work or not and I’m not teaching you lie to Microsoft. It is just a sharing :P
