Typically I don't write myself but I found out a couple interesting things that I thought of real quick for everyone.

1. Vertical City Farms    I guess cities and communities are suffering from bad food and food "deserts" and these city farms help provide the community with good food. They have training centers and there are many different organizations all over the United States that I know of. One such organization is run by Will Allen (All-Star Basketball player) and can be found at growingpower.org. 

2. Sweden is trying to promote tourism on twitter by having a daily tweet by a citizen of Sweden. It is @Sweden. I really haven't looked much at it, but the idea is a really good one. You get to see what an ordinary human being is feeling in another place. It is random and I think you have to have an interest in that sort of thing. Great way to rally a country together though. 

Both of these ideas came from an old episode of the "Colbert Report". Thanks Steve! 

That's it.
