Use the Charity Miles app.
Having freakishly toned calves is great and all, but don't you want to put all that walking you're doing to good use?
Start by downloading the Charity Miles app, which will donate 25 cents for every mile you walk or run to a charity of your choice. You can choose from over 30 different charities, including Habitat for Humanity, ASPCA, Operation Smile, The World Wildlife Fund, and (RED).
According to The Huffington Post, the app has experienced a huge surge in usage since the release of "Pokémon GO," so join in!
Drop lure modules with purpose.
Since "Pokémon GO" requires players to travel around their neighborhood, some people are feeling a bit left out.
One Reddit user suggested dropping lures at places like children's hospitals, since there are probably lots of kids who would love to be out and about hunting Pokémon, but are stuck in a hospital bed. Be a good citizen and bring the Pokémon to them!
