Charles Firth from ABC's Chasers War on Everything tackles Americans about 9/11 issues.

I just learned about an organization whose mission is to help feed hungry people by asking you and me to make a simple change in the way we dispose of our unfinished food: replate it!

For trashcans with 'hoods,' it means putting the food ON TOP of the can instead of INSIDE it, like this:

 

Replate.org

Everyone has concerns about this practice: aesthetics, sanitation, malice, etc. The site, which is quite concise, addresses these concerns in a no-nonsense manner.

If this is an issue that resonates with you, here's a way for you to ease someone's hunger by doing nothing more than putting your leftover food ON TOP of a garbage can instead of INSIDE it.

If you've read this far, thank you for your open-minded compassion.

Using a cell phone regularly – even a modern one – raises the risk of developing a brain tumor for many users, a new Finnish study published online in the International Journal of Cancer. The study, done by a collection of researchers from many universities and led by Anna Lahkola of the Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority in Finland, found firm corollary evidence that using a cell phone causes the risk of getting a brain tumor called a glioma to rise by 40 to 270 percent on the side of the head preferred for using the phone.
