QUESTION # 5

Greetings!

Lately, I have been thinking about how I can improve my own actions contributing to change the world.
So, I thought about not using any unnecessary paper such as avoiding receipts at the gas station or ATMs, or signing up for paperless bills and so on. I generally don’t like to get receipts – they are so worthless and so short-lived. The other thing is that I tend to walk a lot and don’t drive my car if I don’t need to. I also reuse all my grocery bags for other things. I know I should probably use reusable ones (the fabric bags) but I like to use the plastic ones for trash bags.
Another way to change the world is to be a kind, generous, and helpful person to those in need. Examples: Put the shopping cart in a shopping cart receptacle or return it to the store, buy fruit not candy, donate your clothes if you don’t wear them anymore, volunteer, smile more, learn something new today…and so on.
I believe that we can all contribute to make a change in our world, but are there things that you just want to be different?
I would like to recommend a good movie to you. It’s called “Pay it forward” it is PG-13 so if you are not 13 yet make sure you get your parent’s permission. It is a very inspirational movie to me. The movie is available in the library system, if you ever want to watch it. Anyway….here is this week’s question:

QUESTION#5
What is the one thing you’d most like to change about the world?

I am sure you guys will come up with great things – can’t wait to hear it.
I think it would be awesome if we all try to improve our own actions this week? What do you think – is that a challenge?

Peace,
Dominique
