In a post earlier this week I asked for suggestions for actions people can take that will have a positive impact in any area of their lives that’s important to them. From your neighborhood, to the city in which you live, even the entire planet; anywhere you can make a positive difference. I have a particular kind of suggestion in mind. I am looking for suggestions that meet the following criteria:

1. The suggested action has to be something that almost anyone can take.

2. The action taken has to cost little or no money at all.

3. The action has to have a positive impact on the world around the person who is taking the action. It doesn’t matter how small an effect the action may have; even a baby step in what most people consider to be the right direction counts.

Here are three good examples of actions sent in by readers Dan and Tim:

1. If you haven’t already done so, introduce yourself to your neighbors.

2. Join a Freecycle or similar group

3. Pick up litter and put it in the trash. Better yet, pick up litter and recycle it.

Does anyone else have a suggestion?
