what is the first step that anyone can take to change the world?

Answer 1

Make small changes in Your Own small piece of the World first!

For example: You can help Fight Pollution by Composting your garbage, Picking Up litter that you find on your curbside...Every Little Bit Helps! Could You imagine how much cleaner the world would be...if everyone of us...picked up just a few pieces of garbage each day!???

If Everyone questioned their own personal impact on the Earth...and adopted the Hiking/Camping Philosophy, " Leave No Trace...Only Footprints."...Our World would be much more environmentally friendly!

Can you walk or ride a bike...rather than use your car? If You live close to work, just need a few items from the grocery store, etc...You'll avoid putting harmful emissions into the air...Not a whole lot less from an Individual Standpoint...but multiplied by Millions of People...It amounts to a Lot!

Now let's consider the Industrial Polluters!...If Your Neighbourhood is Home to Manufacturing Plants billowing smoke into the air 24/7, sneaking waste into the waterways or onto landfill sites...Report Them!...If nobody complains, it will never stop!

It often only takes just "1 Person" to bring awareness to the entire community that "ABC Company" is polluting the Local Area!...Many others probably feel the same way too!...Which can quickly snowball into Government Interaction...And a massive reduction in Pollution! Now, We're Talking about Having some Impact!!!

Answer 2

Extending kindness as much as possible. Do you ever notice how wonderful you feel when someone extends a kindness especially when you did not expect it. Simple things like taking dogs out for a walk by volunteering at the Humane Society, giving a few hours of your time at a food bank or better yet visiting parents and/or relatives who do not have much company and are not as mobile as they once were. Kindness is so underrated and and one of the simplest gifts to give. Try it. It will not change the world but it is a good start. Imagine if everyone did 3 kind things a day. Now that would change the world.

Answer 3

Charity begins at home. So if you want to change the world, change your self first. Make sure everyone in your home is living a happy healthy life. Start from there and then make sure your neighbours and your community is doing the best. It's a ripple effect. Start by yourself and go on from there. Maybe if enough of us do that, we might make the world a better place.

Answer 4

Well You've got to start small

Choose your cause, and set up what you personally are going to do.

Set up a plan where a large amount of people can help you acheive your goal.

Start spreading awareness

Get other to start participating

You have got to start small and work on up, though it may seem futile you really are helping... even if its the slightest bit

you can't change the world until you start somewhere..
