Smaller nonprofits often have trouble raising awareness for their causes. With a limited budget, it can be difficult to gain supporters and raise funds from outside sources. Accomplish a task and support a worthy cause with this Grassroots campaign: for $6, you get $10 toward any service in the Raise5 marketplace.

In 2012, Raise5 won the Screw Business as Usual competition held by Sir Richard Branson's Virgin Unite, beating out 500 other innovative and socially responsible entries, according to a report from the Huffington Post. Raise5 is a "great example of how people are helping to truly screw business as usual to create a better world," Branson said. Raise5 is a social enterprise that creates new ways for people to give to causes through an online fundraising marketplace. Individuals looking to make a difference donate their time and expertise by offering services for purchase, such as editing digital images or teaching others how to write resumés. Money raised from their services is then donated to the nonprofit of their choice; more than 112 organizations are represented at any given time, including World Wildlife Fund, Habitat for Humanity, and Autism Speaks.

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?
