I believe there are thousands of things we can do to better our world. The first I'm thinking about right now is that all people in the world should have the possibility to eat and drink. So I guess we all shouldn't waste food and water. Other suggestions?

Improve ourselves, instead of always trying to improve others.

Great thinking Nemon, the easiest way to a better world is to smile. Why? because with one smile we can affect one's feeling, thus he can share the feeling to others to. As funny as it may seems, smile is the great way to improve your social in working environment, and it costs nothing. :):) Sorry if i'm being too hypothetical.

Mmm. I agree with you that being positive and smiley is good in certain circumstances (work, family, etc) but for sure it won't help someone that is suffering because in need for some food or ill, or won't be useful to reduce pollution e.g. Action is sometimes necessary, such as buying a GPL or electric vehicle or planting new trees or helping people that are homeless, etc...

Hi Nemo, I remembered to the slogon of an social organization that said "Raise Yourself To Help Mankind" or usually called "RYTHM" as a simple word. Since I saw that slogan, I try to motivate my self as hard as I can to makes some good changes in this world no matter how. But I realize that I will never reach that before I makes some change to myself too. And that part is the hard thing to do, to fight your ownself (the negative things). So the most thing that i wanna do to make a better world is just improve myself as a postive person, take an action, and cares each other. I don't wanna be a "NATO" person. No Action Talk Only

It's important to first improve ourselves, but in order not to become thoroughly selfish and egocentric it's also important to allow others to help and critize us. Keep hoping it's possible to change and better the world!

Conserve natural resources. Increase food production, because mankind is growing the food production must increase too. Stop using plastics, instead use paper bags. If using plastic is inevitable we can still recycle them. There are tons of ways but I think the number one is public awareness. Tell the people! Remind the people!

Thank you! At present, but only since a few months, I'm not taking any plastic shopping bag anymore when I go to buy food and beverages in the Wal Mart: I put everything in the chart and once I've reached my car I drop everything in a reusable cardboard box...
