For its #OneLessStranger travel campaign, Airbnb wants to inspire the global community to do some good for others. For the stunt, 100,000 of its members will be given $10 to put towards an act of kindness for someone else. Although this might not seem like a lot of money, it's enough to do something meaningful in the world, even if it seems rather small. For this pay it forward challenge, Airbnb suggests doing things like making friendship bracelets, planting flowers in a community garden or whipping up some freshly baked goods to share with those in need of food.
On its website, Airbnb's #OneLessStranger page collects some of the kind acts that people have done so far with their $10. To participate in the activity online, anyone can join in by sharing a good deed using the campaign hashtag.
