Think about how much difference thousands of people changing over to cfl bulbs will make . It doesn't seem like much but it adds up.

Although corn and wheat have large areas of overlap, I don't think rice and corn grow in the same climate/soil. So, I'm not sure whether using corn for ethanol is one of the causes of the rice problem. As far as the world is concerned, I think you're right; every bit helps.

I heard someone say the other day that in America we don't have to worry about a shortage of food...just a shortage of cheap food. But that's not true of many places in the world. Great post.

For example, in Thailand the price of rice tripled. It's ironic that people who will suffer the most are rice farmers. Typically, they are very poor and sell their rice to the middle man at steeeeeep discount. They usually don't save enough rice for consumption because they need the money. And finally ended up borrowing money to buy rice at the market price. Like I said, ironic. I think it’s the beginning of a bad global situation. For example, in Thailand the price of rice tripled.

I'm worrying about pretty ridiculous things, comparatively speaking. Of course, one thing I can do is use my frugal habits to save money and then donate that money to organizations that help those in need. But that just seems like such a small gesture.
