Carma

Drivers receive contributions towards their costs, and riders have a comfortable, sociable commute alternative that is, in most cases, cheaper than public transportation.

http://www.opensourcebeehives.netThe Open Source Beehives project is a collaborative response to the threat faced by bee populations in industrialised nations around the world.

Hope Phones
http://hopephones.orgWe created the Hope Phones campaign in 2009 as an innovative way to fund the global efforts of Medic Mobile, our parent organization that advances healthcare in 11 countries with mobile technology. Half a million cell phones are discarded in the United States every day and pollute the environment with tons of plastic and persistent toxins like lead, nickel, beryllium, and cadmium. Cell phone recycling through Hope Phones reduces hazardous waste in our communities responsibly, while providing a real public health benefit abroad.
If Hope Phones can recycle just 1% of disposed phones each year, we can outfit 1 million health workers, improving the lives of 50 million people.
