How to Make a Difference and Help to Change the World

Do You Want to Make a Difference to Your World?
Many people are suffering and in need while others survive in plenty and are able to make a difference in the lives of others. This hub is all about how you can make a difference and in particular will link to many other hubs that give you more information about how to change the world, even if you feel you only have a little to give.
I trust that you find this hub useful and will work together with us at changing the world.
Donate Your Money to Charity
GamerGirl has an excellent hub about giving your money to charity that can be found here.
Giving money to charity is often one of the easiest and first things that people think about in terms of making a difference.
Apart from being a great support to those less fortunate, giving money to charity may also make you eligible for certain tax deductions which you should look into.
On Gamergirl's she also has some good advice on choosing the charity or charities you want to sponsor and how much you can donate.
To learn more about donating your money to charity please visit Gamergirl's Hub.
Donate Your Car to Charity
Are you looking at purchasing a new vehicle? Have you decided what you are going to do with your current vehicle? Leigh A Zaykoski has a good hub about donating your car to charity.
If you do not need the money or if you don't think the car will sell well then this may be a good option as you may also be eligible for good tax deductions from the donation of your car and the charity will tax responsibility for fixing it up for its needs or auction.
If you would like to learn more about donating your car to charity then please visit Leigh A Zaykoski's hub.
Get a Charity Credit Card
If you feel you just don't have enough money to give to charity or that you can afford to give your car to charity then why not consider getting a charity credit card?
Charity credit cards give a small percentage of each purchase you make with the card to a charity. These are usually donated to a specific charity of the card's choice so look around for the charity card you want.
To learn more about charity credit cards visit GMBunn's hub.
Other Ways of Helping Charity
There really are many ways you can get involved in charity - donating money or cars, donating equipment, getting a charity credit card or why not offer your services?
JHulott has a hub about "Help a Charity" that provides many other ideas on how you can support a charity of your choice, as well as links to some charities that he supports.

I recently published this:
http://hubpages.com/_jarrodhaze/hub/Illegal-Immigr
It's an in-depth look at the truth behind how illegal immigrants are in fact taxed. The reason I think it can help make a difference is that an understanding of why illegals are beneficial for our current tax system can help alleviate some of the hatred we may feel towards them.
Also, working ona Hub as to the potential for institutional investing, i.e. hedge funds investing in renewable energy companies etc. My current work is in this area, and we pump millions of investor dollars into developing nations' renewable energy companies. Not only is it a profitable return on an investment, but the millions being pumped into these places fuels research and development.
Great idea for a hub, by the way. ;) We can all Save the world!
