An easy way to help th world

[MajorInMurder]

go to freerice.com

It's really fun and quizes you on your vocab level. Every word you get right, it donates 20 grains of rice! Highest level i got was 35!

 

[ManBearPig]

free rice to who?

 

[MajorInMurder]

well to end world hunger. it sounds soo stupid but it's good. They donate it to United Nations and then United Nations gives it out. It says it on the website on the home page.

aaha... and if not enuff ppl click on their website they let 'em starve to death..? :-/ lol

sry, but those things aren't ending world hunger nor do they really help on the way to achieve that goal.
there are planty of reasons this won't work... but I don't wanna talk politics here. ^^

Its more complex that donate rice, we are talking about the planet, we need a green mind. Its the time to care the planet over what we do, who?
Recycling,bring your support for the reduction of greenhouse gases, not Spend water without Need it etc etc

Green mind: mind (Conservationist and environmentalist)

It is free and benefits for all are many ...

I think it's just to clear one's conscience, it doesn't matter how many of them you get right they're still going to send more rice than everyone answered. It's still a bit fun though, so I don't criticize those that do it.

I played that during school one time during study hall on the day we had an Oxfam liturgy.


to a good cause

oh, I did not want to criticize anybody here... if s.o. wanna play this game they should do.
what I do criticize is the system that works behind the curtain (and i am not talking about the website runners).
But as I said I don't wanna talk politics here.. ^^

Just play the game ppl and if I sounded like I would recommend to not do it I am sorry. Go on the rice hunt!

 

[Hevi]

Got a personal high score of 35, and I'm not even American/British. "Donated" a total of 1060 grains of rice.

 

[Evil-Jester]

i donated 30k of rice once

 

[W|ngsofN|ght]

ROFL, you have to take a test for them to give the rice to people who need it? That doesn't make sense, if they really want to help people who are hungry why don't they just GIVE THE RICE AWAY WITHOUT HAVING HAVE PEOPLE TAKE TESTS?

 

[MajorInMurder]

it's not a test, it's a game, where you test your vocab. every word you get right, you help the world, by donating 20 grains of rice. You continue til you want to stop. If you don't wanna do this then you have to Wings.

 

[Evil-Jester]

kind of a test but if you look at the bottom there are advertisements and every new page more of them and get donations from the advertisers and they use it to buy rice
