The ‘Feel Good Ripple’ is a plan set out by the Canadian Credit Union Servus. The idea is to hand out CDN $200,000 in ten-dollar bills, giving 20,000 people the opportunity to create a Feel Good Ripple by giving that money to someone else. This would never happen in the States--at least, not the way it was intended to.
After you have done your ten-dollar good deed, you can write about it at the Feel Good ripple website. Check out more on the Servus Credit Union’s pay it forward plan at the link below.
