Another example of social action pulled from Flickr. This illustrates Canadian firm DB Schenker's food drive held earlier in the summer. Employees donated over 87,000 pounds of food--nearly 48.5 pounds per employee!
Donations were given to food banks across Canada.

Royal Cliff Beach Resort Donates Cash, Food to Fr. Ray Foundation
I searched flickr to see if I could find any photographs related to Corporate Social Responsibility. This one caught my eye, primarily because it is a photograph from Thailand. The caption describes how a local resort donated both rice and snacks to an orphanage as well as a home for street children and a school for the physically disabled.

Best Buy: Relay for Life
I spotted this memo in the local Best Buy. This is an example of the personal social action I discussed in my dissertation.

Is There Something I Can Do?
While this is on the "social action" not "work" side of this blog, I thought a new website worth mentioning. Singers Peter Buffet and Akon have created a website called Is There Something I Can Do? to encourage folks to get involved in positive change. They encourage visitors to blog about the activities they've pursued as well as link to sites that help people get involved in volunteering.
