You can apparently donate food to people who need it, just by clicking on a website. You can click a “Give free food” button at The Hunger Site everyday. This somehow raises money (through ad revenue) for about 1 cup of food which goes to people in need around the world. I like this idea. Mostly because it costs me nothing. See how helping others has become effortless? We sit in Starbucks, sipping a coffee and eating a muffin, surfing the Internet, and we remember, “Oh yes, click on the Hunger Site!” So we click, and we feel like we’ve done our part. An easy way to ease our conscience. I think the people who have created and are administering these sites are awesome, but I wonder: “Is it important that helping others should cost us something?” This seems almost too easy. What do you think?
