Help Aéropostale Help Teens in Need–Donate Your Jeans!

Currently, 1 in 3 people who are homeless are also under the age of 18. That fact alone is so completely tragic, but there is something that we can all do to help. For the past three years, Aéropostale has held an annual Teens for Jeans drive. Last year, Aéropostale was able to collect over 200,000 pairs of jeans to help homeless teens and hopefully this year, you can help them collect a lot more!

If you have any pairs of gently-worn jeans that you do not wear anymore or don’t fit, please drop them off at any Aéropostale store between January 19th and February 14th. Every pair of jeans donated will be sent to a local homeless shelter or charity so they are helping the homeless teens in and around your local area, …

If you have written a post for Blog Action Day ’09 here are the instructions on how to get your writing/art work/poetry/what-have-you featured on the site.

Bloggers Unite to Raise Awareness About Climate Change: Blog Action Day ’09

More than 8,000 blogs written by people from 148 countries are uniting today to raise awareness, to educate and to inspire people to do something about climate change. These 8,000+ blogs accumulate over 12,000,000 readers and I hope that our collective thoughts on such an important and what could be catastrophic issue reach even more people than that and start conversations between blogs, between people, and I hope that those people keep in mind the threat that climate change does indeed have over us when living their daily lives.

Contrary to popular belief, climate change is not an impending doom; climate change is not something we will face out of the blue one day when we wake up, …

Raise Awareness of Climate Change on Blog Action Day 09, October 15th

Blog Action Day is an annual event where thousands of bloggers around the world unite for one cause on one day to raise awareness of an issue that is threatening people around the world, and this year, the world itself. On October 15th, bloggers will take part in the largest-ever social change event on the web and reach millions of people on the issue of climate change.

Climate change was selected for this year’s Blog Action Day because it affects all people living today and also poses a dramatic threat of even more traumatic issues like famine, flooding, war, and millions of refugees. Because climate change poses such a risk to the world we live in and how our climate affects us and our livelihood, Copenhagen will be home to …

Help Empower Women and Girls in Malawi with Join My Village

Malawi is one of the world’s least developed, and also most densely-populated countries. The people of Malawi are not expected to live past 44 years of age and 89 of every 1,000 births in the country result in infant mortality; this is because Malawi is a country of extreme poverty.

During the Clinton Global Initiative Fifth Annual Meeting, Bill Clinton introduced a very unique commitment between General Mills and CARE, which have partnered together to create Join My Village, an innovative online community that is dedicated to fighting poverty in Malawi through the empowerment of women and girls. But Join My Village will accomplish nothing without the help and the dedication of caring and generous people, which is why you should check out Join My Village.

How America is Pledging to End Hunger

Just a few months ago we wrote about Share Our Strength, an organization that has seen that the multi-layered epidemic of childhood hunger. They saw the harsh reality that hunger affects 13.4 million American children and they stood up to do something about it. About three months ago they launched Pledge to End Hunger, an initiative that brought the epidemic of hunger to us and asked us what we were going to do about it. They asked us to give, volunteer, or share the word of Pledge to End Hunger and in just three months, the work that they have accomplished is astronomical.

Pledge to End Hunger has teamed up with Hum Office and Tyson Foods to successfully bring semi trucks of foods to food banks to …
