Teens on myYearbook.com are cleaning up 2 million pounds of carbon dioxide (C02) from the atmosphere, have saved 3 million square feet of rainforest, sent 22,000 books to Africa, and bought 40,000 pounds of rice for the hungry – and that’s in just the last six months.
Teens on myYearbook donate the virtual currency “Lunch Money†to their favorite charities in myYearbook’s popular Causes application. myYearbook users earn Lunch Money either by completing activities on myYearbook or by buying Lunch Money credits. Lunch Money on myYearbook can be used to buy virtual gifts for friends or for the recently launched Causes program. myYearbook turns the virtual contributions from users into concrete, real-world items by making monthly donations to an array of charities on behalf of its members.
