Nope, this is not about saving the world from Global Warming. It is not about getting rid of governments. And it certainly is not about stopping Disney from making supervillians.

This is about Firefox. Well, the people behind it. Between the 14th and the 21st of THIS MONTH (September 2009) Mozilla is hosting their Service Week. Basically it means that normal people (eg. me and you) help other people in the local area. Now do not fret, I could not think of anything to do either… but Mozilla did!

• Teach senior citizens how to use the Web.
• Show a non-profit how to use social networking to grow its base of supporters.
• Help install a wireless network at a school.
• Create Web how-to materials for a library’s computer cluster.
• Refurbish hardware for a local computer center.
• Update a non-profit organization’s website.
• Teach the values of the open Web to other public benefit organizations.

Hmm.. this all seems to be computer related. Well if you want to do something different, check out what other people are doing!

Now it is time for some math.

1 * 24 = 24

24 * 7 = 168

That means each of us has 168 hours in a week, though of course very few of them are spare. Which is why it is impressive that currently (9:50pm 7th September) there are currently 8,240 hours donated.

8240 / 168 = 49

That is the equivalent to 49 people spending their whole week, no sleep, to help others. Now that is impressive. Lets double it.

8240 / 7 = 1177

Right, now I know for a fact that we have over 1177 visitors here on Success Circuit (though they do not comment.. grr), so if we all spend 1 hour a day for 7 days then we can make a BIG difference to the WORLD.

So, what do you plan to do? I am going to think about it and let you know very soon.

Have fun saving the world.
