TerraPass - Everyone contributes to global warming

Everyone contributes to global warming. Find out how you can reduce and balance your impact.

If you drive a car, use a dishwasher or even just flick the lights on when you get home, you're building up a "carbon footprint" (a measure of your carbon dioxide effect on the environment), a pretty big factor in the cause of global warming. But most people aren't in a position to stop using these carbon-emitting items. And TerraPass.com says that's OK.

So what can you do to make a difference? Well, to start, there are a lot of small things that can reduce your impact. Check out the conservation tips on TerraPass and see how things like lowering the temperature on your dishwasher, following the speed limit and unplugging electronics when they're not turned on could lower your emissions. The site also has a section of recommended green products (and provides the links to buy them), from low-flow shower heads to solar-powered cell phone chargers to energy-saving power strips.

But to fully balance your impact, you can purchase "carbon offsets" through the site, as well, which support clean energy and other projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions. First TerraPass will calculate your footprint based on your driving, flying and home energy use habits, determining the amount of carbon dioxide you contribute per year. Then, you can choose to purchase a TerraPass. Your money goes to help fund things like wind farms, landfill gas capture and farm power - of course, you can read all about the projects TerraPass sponsors on the site.

You don't have to sell all of your belongings and live off the land to reduce your carbon footprint - just check out TerraPass.com and get in balance. Visit TerraPass

Sick of Automated Recordings? Get a Human!

Stop pandering to automated recordings! When you call a company, you want to get right to a real person. Now you can.

Looking for customer support? Before gethuman.com, we'd probably have told you to enjoy the wait. These days, it seems most companies are set up to keep you from ever reaching a human when you call for assistance — instead, they've got you pressing every button on your phone. It was out of this phone call frustration that gethuman was created.

Just as its name suggests, this site provides callers with the best way to "get a human" when calling a company. Whether it's an insider's trick (like pressing *## for Western Union), just hitting 0, or doing nothing at all (they'll think you have a rotary phone), you'll be spending a lot more time getting your problem solved and a lot less time in automated purgatory. And with hundreds of companies listed — from AAA to Yahoo! — chances are you'll find the human you're looking for.

You'll also find Caller Tips and a Discussion Board on gethuman.com, so you can share your discoveries with (or ask for help from) other users and find the best way to locate the phone numbers you're looking for.

Free Games - Win Prizes!!

Gamesville.com is the premiere purveyor of fine, free online games and is famous for its uncanny ability to waste people's time for hours on end.

What kind of games do they offer? Free games such as bingo, cards, puzzles, board games, and more. You can even create your own stylish Gamesville Avatar to capture your unique essence.

But what really sets them apart from other game sites is that they specialize in online game shows, not just online games.

What's the difference?

Most game sites focus on games you play by yourself or games you play against a couple other people. While Gamesville has those kinds of games too (they especially proud of their Spades game and Hot Streak Solitaire), they excel at massively multiplayer games where it's you versus hundreds—or even thousands—of people all competing, in real time, to get the highest score or win the cash jackpot.

Gamesville game shows, such as Three-Eyed Bingo and Magic 21, run on a continuous basis, 24 hours a day, and last for a specific amount of time. Between one game ending and the next game starting, there is a brief intermission (aka, the Gamesville Emercial®) which features commercials — that is, advertisements that the sponsors have paid to display to you. These commercials help pay for the games and prizes that they offer.

In a very real way, their games are online — and interactive — game shows, operating on a similar kind of model to our TV counterparts. Except, instead of you watching a handful of contestants vie for a prize, you actually get to compete and win!

It's a little unusual-but given that they are in their twelfth year of being in business they must be doing something right. So go play today! Visit Gamesville
