1.Volunteer your time at local schools
Whether you have a school age child or not, children are the future of this world. Spend time helping them reach their potential by tutoring, mentoring or taking part in an after school program.
2.Recognize the humanity of other people, and respect their dignity
Consciously realize that the homeless man you pass on the street every day is, in fact, a man. Through choices of his own or circumstances out of his control, he ended up in this situation, and that makes him no less human.
3.Use less paper
Our forests are being cut down at an alarming rate. Conserve the trees by conserving paper. Send an e-mail instead of a letter, type directions into your cell phone instead of writing them down.
4.Drive less
Even the use of hybrid vehicles contributes to carbon emissions, greenhouse gases and reduced air quality.You could carpool or take public transportation to work, walk to church or bike to pick up a few things from the store and make the world a better place.
5.Conserve water
Taking long showers and letting the water run as you brush your teeth are indulgences that negatively impact our world. Try to limit your water usage by timing how long you have the water running.
6.Donate to clean water charities
A large portion of the world is without fresh drinking water. Educate yourself about the drought epidemic, and make the world a better place by donating to organizations and charities helping to fight against the lack of clean water around the globe.
7.Be generous
It's easy to be selfish with your time, money and resources by getting caught up in our material-driven societal expectations. Try being generous and see how your life changes. Buy coffee for the person behind you in line at Cafeteria, read to children at your local library or simply stop and listen for the answer when you ask a friend how they're doing.
