How it helps: The more trivia questions you answer correctly, the more "leaves" you collect. The more leaves you collect, the more funds are donated by the site's advertising sponsors to one of the site's two partner agencies, Trees for the Future or The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation.

According to the site's FAQ, 180 correct answers = 1 tree planted. However, you don't need to play 180 times: all answers count, so your responses and those of others will accumulate to equal the amount needed.

5. Save Big Cats

6. Feed The Hungry

7. Help Children In Need
