What can you do to change the world?

You've seen heartwrenching images like these before:

It doesn't get any easier to watch but we are now in the year 2008 and there must be something we can do to make a difference.

You're reading this post because you want to make a difference in this world.

I know how grandiose this sounds but you have at your fingertips, at the end of a keyboard a way to help change the world…

How?

JointWinWin.com has a business directory at it's heart you can search to find JointWinWin businesses - every Joint WinWin business gives a minimum of 0.8% of their gross revenue to charity every year. This means whenever you buy from a JointWinWin business someone, somewhere less fortunate than you or I benefits.

Raising money for charity is not a new idea, but making it part and parcel of all your purchases is.

There's also another good reason to shop with JointWinWin businesses as JointWinWin businesses agree to give JointWinWin visitors special offers - indeed you can sign up to the deal of the day.

What if every business was a member of JointWinWin, how long do you think it would take before issues like poverty, homelessness, famine were consigned to the history books forever…

You can help build momentum

The idea behind JointWinWin is a simple concept but what it has against it is its "newness".

Like all new ideas, it needs momentum, it needs people like YOU to say - "Hey this is a great idea, I would buy from businesses like that". The more people who put their hands up and make a stand the more people will want to - it's a virtuous circle.

So how can you change the world?

Well, I need your help to get the ball rolling - I need you to make a stand and say this is a good idea, when you do, others will follow. This is IMHO too big an idea to stall at the starting gates, the potential to help so many people and change the world is HUGE. Just think, it's possible in the future if you buy from JointWinWin businesses only, you will be in a position whereby:

Whatever, whenever, wherever YOU buy, YOU make a difference.

So, please take some time to change the world for the better by doing as many of the following simple, easy steps as you can.
