list 100 things to improve the world and do them

8. Leave anonymous notes around for people to find
When people find something special and unexpected and kind, you can usually expect a smile. Every time someone smiles, someone sees them and can’t help but smile, and so on. Little ripples, et cetera.
Hence, notes. This is inspired mainly by Operation Beautiful
which is an awesome project dedicated to making sure everyone knows they’re beautiful.
I’ve written 65 notes so far on index cards and I’ll be leaving them everywhere I go throughout this week.

9. Smile
The reason for this was posted above. Smiles are contagious, and the simple act of smiling slightly lifts the mood, so whenever I smile around other people I improve my own and everyone else’s mood.

10. Volunteer
This one I’m already doing, but I want to make sure that I keep on doing it. So many people seem to be unaware how many resources would be unavailable without volunteers. At the moment I volunteer four hours a week at a library, but I’ll be moving soon so I’ll have to find somewhere new to volunteer.

11. Scatter native wildflower seeds wherever I go
I have a packet of wildflower seeds native to my area. I want to start taking them along with me and scattering them in bleak places. It’ll help the environment and cheer people up to boot!

1. Inch closer to flexetarianism
A loose sort of flexetarianism has been my goal for a while. Not a big DON’T EAT MEAT NEVER NEVER thing – I’m just not cut out for that – more of a relaxed attempt to be increasingly less reliant on meat and thereby lower my impact.

2. Cut up old unwearable clothes and reconstruct them into new, wearable clothes
As much an I-can’t-afford-new-clothes thing as it is a save-the-world thing.

3. Participate in Buy Nothing Day

4. Update my blog more
I’m bad about updating things. I have things to say, I need to go ahead and say them.

5. Do some guerilla art

6. Tell people about things
I want to try to find something interesting or important every day or so, and then proceed to tell people about it.

7. Get better at juggling and see if I can juggle at children’s hospitals and the like
