A lot of people think of work as something separate from the rest of the rest of their lives, yet if you really think about it, many people spend the majority of their lives at work. Why not use your time there more effectively?
The Idea: Start a volunteer initiative at your job. If you don't have an job, start one in your apartment building. If you live in a house, organize a volunteer day for your street. It may be something as simple as getting your coworkers to participate in a volunteer initiative you're already a part of, or as ambitious as starting and coordinating something from scratch.
The Cost: Time that you'd have probably spent either a) surfing the internet or being otherwise unproductive at work or b) volunteering (if it's already an established initiative).
The Benefit: You'll be able to help others, and you might also reap unintended benefits such as recognition/help/support from senior management. In addition, it's a nice way to feel good about the company you work for.
