Use dogs that are put down in pounds to feed people in developing countries
Give one seed to every house to plant one tree
get professional footballers to sell their shirts after every match and then give the money to charity
Give Fianna Fail 10 million to leave Government
Hook excercise bikes in gyms so people can generate electricity for the National Grid
Stop paying celebrities so much
