107 Simple things that you can do to make the world better

A few simple things that you can do... 106 things that you can do to help make the world, our country & your community a better place. Eventually this list will have a link from each thing that you can do to a site with information on that good deed. We don't ask that you do them all, but why not just pick one? Do one thing on this list every day. It can even be the same one over and over, because every little bit helps. If everyone did just one of the things on this list every day, think how much cleaner your streets would be and how much better it would feel all around. If you can think of something that people could do to make the world, our country and our communities a better place, and a link to information on it that you do not see here, please email us the info and we would be glad to post it.
