CauseWorld

When asked to describe what exactly is this CauseWorld, the creator, Cyriac Roeding, the co-founder and CEO of Shopkick briefly discussed how this application works charitable causes, she mentioned initially that “It is the first app that lets you do good deeds simply for checking into a store.” and later related the concept of Karma Points which are the revenues you get from clicking sops that goes directly to any of the over 30 charities existing it caters to. As to the origin and ideas of creation, Roeding patiently and humbly stated thei beginnings of this fastest-growing location-based retail application saying they wanted to make a change by using the highly sellable check-in applications of today, as a matter of fact, she also included rough statistics which just shows the mighty progress of the cause: they have already reached over a million dollar donations, 550,000 downloads in five months and over 40,000 consumer ratings already.

Just easy as it seems, the application drags down the nearest and most accessible stores for you and as you enter, click and go, even widow shopping earns you enough Karma Points to acquire of the most affordable donation items on Cause Mall such as planting a tree for this cause, buying clean water for a particular town, raising a sick child, and all other charitable deeds you can offer by just clicking your phone.

Why Renewable Energy

Renewable energy

We our fast growing population and economy, we can’t avoid the increase in pollution as well. Take for in sample air pollution which is mostly caused by emissions of cars and power plant factories. This is where renewable energies come in handy, because not only do they produce less or no emissions at all from producing electricity but are also environmentally friendly.

One kind of renewable energy is the solar energy which can be harnessed by using solar panels. Another is wind and water energy that both uses turbines to harness the energy into electricity. There are so many other renewable resources out there that is being used to reduce hazardous gasses. You can even use electric cars or biofuels to help reduce green house gasses and contribute in helping our environment. And in the future we are sure to expect better and safer ways to produce electricity without relying on hazardous power plants.
