Carbonrally Makes Time's Top 50

We don’t like to toot our own horn, but if somebody toots one for us, we don’t complain. So we’re honored to be included in Time Magazine’s 50 Best Websites of 2008.

We’re in great company, too. One of my favorite sites on the list is Free Rice, a word quiz site that donates 20 grains of rice to the UN World Food Program for every correct answer you get. As of yet they don’t keep track of individual scores, but I suspect our Rallyers could generate a lot of rice!

Another site that piqued my interest was Kiva, a site that lets you lend money – through established and ethical microlenders – to entrepreneurs in third-world countries. Never heard of microlending? Check out the FAQ at the Grameen Foundation, the Nobel Prize-winning bank that started it all.

Finally, The Nest. TIME claims the site is aimed at “newly wedded yuppie couples”, but all I know is that The Nest is home to some hard-core Rallyers. The Eco-Friendly Nesties’ fifteen members have saved nearly a half ton of CO2 so far.

Rally On!
