In a Nutshell

In 2007, doctors diagnosed approximately 10,400 children younger than 15 years old with cancer, according to a report from the National Cancer Institute—and cancer was the leading cause of death by disease for children in the United States. Let your morning brew contribute to pediatric-cancer research with this Grassroots campaign: for $44, you get a variety pack with four 12-ounce bags of fair-trade coffee from Callie's Coffee (a $60 value). The variety pack includes one bag of each of the following: dark roast, medium roast, espresso, and decaf. Each bag’s label bears a drawing made by a child affected by cancer.

When Callie Lentz lost her 3-year-old friend Ben to an incurable form of neuroblastoma, she was struck with a desire to prevent that same suffering in other families. From start to end, she witnessed Ben’s struggle with the disease, but instead of cowering in the face of the inexplicable, she found determination. At age 7, she came up with the idea of Callie’s Coffee, an organization that raises money for the Ben Towne Foundation. Partnering with Camano Island Coffee Roasters, Callie’s parents and two brothers got to work in the family garage, packaging and delivering organic, shade-grown, and fair-trade coffee blends. Each coffee bag’s label also bears a drawing by a pediatric-cancer patient or survivor to remind drinkers of the imaginations affected by the disease. With each bag sold, 20% of the profits go to the Ben Towne Foundation, which funnels 100% of the funds into cancer research, including Dr. Michael Jensen’s work reprogramming the body’s defense system to destroy cancer cells. To further help, individuals can join Callie's Club to receive a discounted monthly supply of coffee and create an annuity for pediatric cancer research.

The Groupon Guide to: Empty 2-Liter Soda Bottles

Everyone loves drinking soda pop straight out of 2-liter bottles, but when the soda pop is all gone, you've got to recycle that empty plastic container, a process that can be awful and horrible. Make the end as fun as the beginning with these tips for hanging on to those empties and using them for fun:

  • Play sports with them. An empty 2-liter bottle is the perfect object to use as a whiffle-ball bat or a weird basketball that's incredibly frustrating to use.

  • Turn them into pieces of art. You can do this by filling them with just about anything because most art isn't very good.

  • Bring them to a sporting event and use the bottles as thunder sticks, which are those hollow, cylindrical plastic objects that fans bang together to signal to each other when they should all be quiet for a key play.

  • Throw them up in the air and see if they float!

  • Recycle them the easy, painless way: by just throwing them away in the garbage.

Is a 2-liter bottle filled with roast beef considered art?
