Jacobs, 27, has an answer for you. In fact, he's got quite a few.</p> <p>By taking a series of quizzes on the environment, you can earn credits to plant trees, feed animals through the Humane Society or send books to children in Africa. Place a  "badge" on your Facebook page and each click will help raise money toward your favorite cause.</p> <p>Or, simply sign up for the Everywun newsletter and earn 100 credits - enough to plant a tree.</p> <p>There's a lot of giving going on, and it's because of sponsors like <a href="http://www.thenorthface.com/catalog/index.html?cm_guid=1-_-100000000000000031241-_-3162669510&cm_mmc_o=TBBTkwCjCPyzEpCjCH0zgfCjCatw+WByft+dzgw|C|viiiiiiiiiiiiiiiNvnSv">The North Face</a>, <a href="http://www.betterworldbooks.com/">Better World Books</a>, <a href="http://www.peanutlabs.com/peanutlabs/Home">Peanut Labs</a> and other businesses that "all want to be part of the conversation about what it means to be a better world," Jacobs said. </p> <p>Jacobs, whose father is a rabbi in Los Angeles, founded Everywun in August and officially launched his Web site in March. He said so far, the company hasn't paid a cent in online advertising.</p> <p>In May, everywun.com received half a million hits, compared to the beta site in February when Jacobs tabulated just 12,000.</p> <p>No matter how you look at it, this guy's doing something inspiring. Stay tuned for my full article...</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
