Ready to Change The World?

Ready to Change The World?

The world today is definitely not the paradise we grew up in my friends. Hunger, abuse, poverty, pollution, and violence are all too common in today's world. Granted, the world never has been, and probably never will be perfect, but that means there's lots of room for improvement that can start today with a little bit of love and some tenderness!

You can help to create a better world for the future. And it's not as hard as you think. Because my friends change is good - it is progress. Below are my how to implement positive change in your world today. Start by volunteering your time! It's not just about working in a soup kitchen or visiting the old folks' home during the holidays. You can deliver meal on wheels.Help with homes for Humanity. Offer the homeless guy on the corner a hot sandwich instead of money that going for his vine or drug fix! Today anyone can volunteer to do anything! Contact your local volunteer organisations in your area and discover a cause that you feel passionate about. 


Start a petition, donate money, support a charity: fund raise, or be an advocate for the homeless or our veterans.Don't donate to the first charity you come across. There are huge differences in efficiency. If you want to make sure that your money is used to save as many lives as possible, do check out givewell.org. Picking one of their most recommended charities is quick and easy, but you can also read up on why they chose those if you're interested. Other possible sites are BBB Start With Trust or Charity Navigator.Buy a wristband. They are all the rage everywhere with lots of celebrities sporting the most recent fashion accessory—a charity wristband for cancer research. Not only do they look cool, they're cheap and a great way to do your bit for your favorite cause.If you want to help the developing world, the best charities are ones which help people to help themselves. These do the most good by enabling communities to strengthen and improve themselves. Examples of charities that do work like this are Heifer International, Kiva, or Free the Children. Education charities, like One Laptop Per Child,is also good 


This Christmas season shop Goodwill: Businesses are some of the most important and influential organizations in the world today. They are involved with, or in some way influence, almost any issue you can think of and can sometimes be even more influential than governments in those issues. Luckily, you have opportunities every day to encourage businesses to do the right thing. Every time you buy something, you are giving your approval for whatever process was involved in its production. The next time you're in the grocery store, take an extra look at the labels.Take a close look at your options. Ask yourself questions: "Do I want to support this type of business?" "Are the farmers or factory workers that made this treated well?" "Is this product traded fairly?" "Is it healthy?" "Is it good for the environment?" Speak up about injustices in the world and get your friends involved, too. Organize fundraisers to help raise money for your chosen charity or cause. If you can't raise money, add your voice to those already campaigning to end poverty, war, injustice, sexism, racism, or corruption in the world. Activism can start at any age.Became an activist for child labor rights. Free the Children is a great cause to join and support. Stop China and the Philippines children abuse,( children 8-15 put to work in sweat shops around the world. Does the sale of this product help support an oppressive political regime?


Become an Organ Donor:You won't need your organs when you are dead, so why not give them to someone who can use them? Save the lives of up to eight people by placing yourself on the organ donors' register in your country. Talk about the decision with your family and let them know your wishes.


Recycle: It's not something only hippies do at Skippers Smoke House! Anyone can recycle, and these days just about anything can be recycled—from newspapers and plastic, to computers and old mobile (cell) phones. Encourage your school or workplace to recycle and to use recycled products. Mother Earth will love you and Go Green with LED Light Bulbs.Reduce your harmful impact on the planet by reusing items and materials when you can, using green products, buying local food and items (supporting your local economy), and conserving resources such as water. This will help protect the planet and provide a healthy environment for all people who will live on after us Help others to do the same by educating them about how they can reduce their impact on the planet. Remember: don't be preachy or self-righteous. You're doing this to help the planet, not so you can be smarter or better than your neighbor.


Minimize your water usage: Did you know that there will probably be a major water crisis in our lifetimes? The problem is that we consume and use water faster than we can clean old and new water. Help alleviate this problem by taking shorter showers, being careful when washing dishes, not leaving the water running when you brush your teeth, and generally paying attention to how you use water.Another thing to avoid is watering your lawn in the summer. Collect and use gray water for this purpose, as using clean drinking water to water grass is very wasteful.


Support animal welfare: All life should be appreciated if humanity is to step forward in our pursuit for a better society. Spend time supporting animal rights, volunteer at your local shelter, or donate to an organization for animal welfare. Keep in mind that most animal suffering happens to farm animals, not pets. Most people forget this, since they can't see the animals they eat. Consider going vegetarian - it's healthier, helps the environment, reduces animal suffering and might actually be cheaper! If you can't imagine being vegetarian, eating less meat also works. Remember, it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing decision.However, do your research before donating to organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS for short), PETA, or other big-name corporations; sometimes a large percentage of the money will not go to the animals.
