Getting Involved with Earth Day & Social Vibe

It's Earth Day today and I'd like to take this opportunity to encourage my fellow nurses to take a more active role in protecting the environment and also getting involved with charities and other worthwhile causes.

For those who visit Pinoy R.N. regularly, you may have noticed the Social Vibe widget on the sidebar. Since November last year, this blog with the help of its readers have earned and donated 365 hours of Anti-RetroViral treatment to children afflicted with AIDS in Africa through the Keep a Child Alive foundation.

The Social Vibe concept is simple. Most of us have blogs or social networking profiles.  With Social Vibe, we can use these blogs and social networking profiles such as facebook, myspace, and twitter to create positive measurable social change.

By adding the Social Vibe widget/gadget to your own blog or profile, you can donate real money to your charity of choice without spending your own. Donation money is generated from brand advertisers that you choose as your sponsor when your friends click on your Social Vibe widget and do activities.

It's a novel way of helping out charities and worthwhile causes.
