365 WAYS TO CHANGE THE WORLD

The book has an issue and an action for each day of the year. The underlying idea behind this book is that … together we can change the world. Through the way we live, through little things that we can do in our lives and through taking action on issues that really concern us, we can begin to make a difference.

Here are some of the ideas, just to give you a flavour of what’s in the book.
• Become a guerrilla gardener: start to sow the seeds of a green revolution.
• Pay off third world debt: send a small contribution to Sierra Leone, which is the world’s poorest nation.
• Use your computer to search for aliens or to find a cure to Alzheimers.
• Mark your dollar bills with slogans to wake up the world.
• Buy nothing: stop shopping for just one day.
• Fight the SUV menace: get the off-roads off the road.
• Food for thought: these are the fish you can eat with a clear conscience.
