What can I do?

Let every day be a good day

How many of us have been inspired by the story of a man who died trying to rescue someone else, the teacher who saved a pupil from gangsterism, or the activist willing to be imprisoned to speak out against injustice? Sometimes it may seem that only really special people can make a difference, but each of those special people is human, just like we are.

You don't have to be Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela or Bono to make a difference. You don’t have to have the bank balance of Bill Gates or the influence of Oprah. You can make your office, campus, community, school or home a better place by doing very simple good things.

Not quite sure where to start or what you can do? We’ve begun a collection of simple ways to live for good every day. Feel free to suggest more of your own in the comments below. A little bit of goodness really can go a long way.
