“To leave the world better than you found it, sometimes you have to pick up other people’s trash.” — Bill Nye

What can you do to make the world a better place?

If the idea of making the world a better place sounds too daunting then start a little smaller.

You could start with…

Your country.

Your state.

Your city.

Your neighborhood.

Your home.

Just imagine the difference it would all make if each one of us collectively made an effort to leave places better than we found them.

How much effort would it really take to take on such an endeavor?

Probably not as much as you might think.

What it would take is conscious behavior. It would take a shift in focus and a bias towards action.

You could start with something as small as picking up a piece of litter and disposing of it correctly. Or, if you feel so inclined, you could run for public office because you’re willing to commit energy and time to making things better on a larger scale.

The choice is yours.

If you’re really stuck and don’t know where or how to start making things better, then start with thinking about it. Once you decide and commit to the fact that you’re going to work towards making the world a better place, I can almost guarantee you’ll encounter endless opportunities to do so.
