Sometimes getting started is the hardest part. You want to do something charitable, anything to help someone out, but it's hard to know where to look. Often it's not about money, but more about time and commitment, something we all probably have a bit more of these days than cold, hard cash.

Maybe that summer job didn't work out like you expected and you've got some time on your hands before you go back to school — or start looking for a real job — in the fall. So, Class of '09, here are five simple ways you can get started saving the world.

Charles beat veteran British comedian Ronnie Corbett - who was part of comedy double act the Two Ronnie with the late Ronnie Barker - into second place, with actor Bill Nighy taking the third spot and President Barack Obama fourth.
