      <title>John Ondrasik Asks What Kind Of World You Want</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/2&quot;&gt;Myrlia Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/539-john-ondrasik&quot;&gt;John Ondrasik&lt;/a&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1017-five-for-fighting&quot;&gt;Five For Fighting&lt;/a&gt; has started a charity music video community. The site, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com/&quot;&gt;www.whatkindofworlddoyouwant.com&lt;/a&gt;, offers the public the chance to upload videos which explain the type of world in which they want to live.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;At the end of every video viewers can click on the sponsor link;  each click donates up to 49 cents to one of the charities chosen by Ondrasik. He encourages submissions, saying, &amp;#8220;There are no rules here, your film can be personal, political &amp;#8211; write a story, tell a story &amp;#8211; anything goes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;The charities benefitting from the website include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/292-fisher-house-foundation&quot;&gt;Fisher House Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/533-breast-cancer-3-day&quot;&gt;Breast Cancer 3-Day&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/119-autism-speaks&quot;&gt;Autism Speaks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/277-save-the-music-foundation&quot;&gt;Save The Music Foundation&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/536-new-york-police-fire-widows-childrens-benefit-fund&quot;&gt;New York Police &amp;amp; Fire Widows&amp;#8217; &amp;amp; Children&amp;#8217;s Benefit Fund&lt;/a&gt;. John tells us that another charity, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/537-augies-quest&quot;&gt;Augie&amp;#8217;s Quest&lt;/a&gt; will be added within the next few months.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;For those who need more of a reason to create a video, there are  prizes on offer. The grand prize winner will be chosen at random from the 20 most popular videos, and will be treated to a private concert with John Ondrasik including roundtrip airfare and lodging for two in Los Angeles.&lt;/p&gt;
