giving doesn't have to be a major feat. yes, some people make grand gestures, but there are countless small acts that make a BIG difference. some of us want to do something but we just don't know where to start. you'd be surprised to learn how easily you can incorporate giving into your everyday activities. i thought i'd spoil you and make a list of 10 things you can do right now, like today, to make a difference. this list is ranked according to time, effort or financial sacrifice required (with #1 requiring the least effort).

2. Tweet
yes, Tweet. If you have a Twitter account, you can donate 1 tweet a day to a cause you care about. justcoz.org allows you to find causes that you're passionate about and donate 1 tweet a day to raise awareness to all your followers. they do the actual tweeting, so you don't have to do anything.
Done! You did something.
