Metoo asked:


I’m tired of negativity and want to do something good in this world. List all the things you do (or can do) to make a difference.

Here are some ideas I have:
-Writing letters to supervisors of service providers who’ve done a good job
-Counseling a child who needs direction in life
-Collect items for the Salvation Army
-Recycle
-Save energy
-Compliment an elderly person (or anyone)
-Give specific feedback to a friend about something you appreciate
-Cook someone a favorite meal
-Greet a stranger with a smile
-Hold the door for someone with packages
-Ask someone how you can help
-Try to understand someone’s pain
-Provide tips for people in need of them
-Write something interesting and entertaining
-Do well for yourself so you can get a job you want
-Clean up after themselves
-Suspend judgment; listen
-Fix the problem, not the person
-Forgive other’s shortcomings
-Seek to connect
-Give someone a massage w/out expecting anything in return
-Bring someone something

Over the summer i started a recycling movement through our high school’s chapter of FCCLA and now I am officer of that project, so I need some fundraising/ donation ideas to get the bins put in place in the high school, and hopefully then on the the lower schools here having FCCLA teach the little kids about recycling. I just can’t think of any ideas yet. So any help or advice on this endeavor would be appreciated, a lot.–P.S. any other advice just on the recycling program itself would help here, the idea’s just only taking off so tips help! thanks–especially student involvement ideas
wow new age man, that’s an awesome idea! i love the music thing, i remember having a concert benefit last year for something similar and i do know some musical friends of mine…the bands did perform very willingly last year to get PR this could be a very good thing! ooh, i’m so excited! oh, hey what do y’all think about the slogan “it’s not easy being green.” with something as an ending tagline like ‘but we do it anyway’or, “we do it for —-” ? oh i’m so excited!
thank you
on another note, a lot of you are saying donations are to be made! and i know to ask small businesses yes, but what about larger ones that may have a little extra weight to throw around, know any that are known for this type of thing?
