Have you had the opportunity to see the softer side of Google?  Yes, the technology juggernaut does care and they are doing something about some of the challenges we all face collectively.  Go visit Google.org and have a look, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Google.org aspires to use the power of information to help people better their lives. We are an experiment in active philanthropy. In addition to financial resources, we are fortunate to be able to engage Google’s entire family of people and partners, information technologies and other resources to address three major growing global problems: climate change, global public health, and economic development and poverty.
