Couple of pieces that might tickle the fancy of Global Ideas Bank types:
- a social enterprise called Inveneo takes donations of old USB drives to send to developing countries; according to the article on Daily Cup of Tech, "Inveneo’s Thumb Drive Drive is looking for donations of USB drives so that they can provide the technology to developing countries. They plan to use it for students, aid workers, and entrepreneurs so that they can help others."

Check out the comments on the article for some good links from other readers too...
