Have you heard of Google.org? The philanthropic venture from Google, in the company's own words, "aspires to use the power of information and technology to address the global challenges of our age: climate change, poverty, and emerging disease." They have focused on five major initiatives in an attempt to better the world:

• Develop Renewable Energy Cheaper Than Coal
• Accelerate the Commercialization of Plug-In Vehicles
• Predict and Prevent Emerging Threats
• Inform and Empower to Improve Public Services
• Fuel the Growth of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

Maybe their big thinking will result in big results!
