Children Leave Cute Random Notes With Coins for Cars at Parking Meters
Lovely Rita is getting a run for her money from these adorable meter maids.

Guessing by the adorably child-like scribbles and pictures left on a dozen envelopes taped to parking meters, we'd say these kids knew it was Random Act of Kindness Week on Valentine's Day.

In a slew of photo Tweets posted by ABC-7's Melanie Woodrow this month, parking meters and bus stops all over San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood were adorned with envelopes holding loose change for pedestrians.

The envelopes featured encouraging little notes and doodles with sayings like "Happy Valentine's Day!", "money!!", and "To parents: to help you out".

The most amazing part is watching people smile/discover but leave the money maybe for someone else who needs it more pic.twitter.com/cmBDHgfjP3

13-Year-old Recycles Cooking Grease into Heating Oil for Needy Families

After reading an article in the local newspaper, Cassandra Lin of Westerly, Rhode Island discovered that many residents could not afford to heat their homes. Inspired to do something, she formed a team of five seventh graders to recycle waste cooking oil and turn it into biofuel for distribution to needy families. Started in 2008, TGIF (Turn Grease Into Fuel) works with local biofuel companies to recycle the grease from residents and restaurants, and refine it into biodiesel. The award-winning project has been collecting more than 36,000 gallons of waste cooking oil a year, bringing an estimated value of $60,000 of alternative energy that keeps 92 needy families warm in the winter.
