I know I haven’t been an Internet surfer since that phrase was brand new and hip. Lately I’ve stumbled upon some really interesting resources online including:
http://fightaidsathome.scripps.edu/ (you can lend you spare computing power to a global supercomputer that conducts research on AIDS medications; it’s part of the World Community Grid – also very cool and pooling computing power from everyone everywhere to do research on similar projects for the benefit of humanity)
http://www.breathingearth.net/ (you have to see it – it’s difficult to explain – but I can try: it’s a living map of the world showing deaths, births and carbon dioxide emissions per country! very interesting!)
http://www.bigpicturesmallworld.com/colleges/changegame.shtml (a game that puts climate change in your hands… see how you tackle the problem or contribute to the disaster – and learn something about our choices in the process)
http://sustainability.publicradio.org/consumerconsequences/ (see what the world would look like, if everyone lived like you)
