It's daunting, isn't it when you see all the bad things happening in the world whether it's to people or animals and you feel helpless, that there is nothing we can do. But, the good news is that we can all change the world and we can start today.
Here are some tips -
1. Whenever you see something you don't like, complain about it, tell your friends. Blog about it, put it on Facebook, Tweet it. Let as many people know as you possibly can. Complain to the company concerned.
Example - Someone informed me that Amazon.com were selling fox tails, so I contacted them about it using this online form.
2. Buy products that carry the Leaping Bunny logo. That way you are helping to bring about the end of animal testing.
3. Do you know that neighbour or work colleague you've never spoken to or just said hi to? Try and have a conversation with them. Make them smile. Even better make them laugh. Loneliness is a terrible thing and you may be the only person they speak to that day.
5. Do something nice for someone. Buy your mum some chocolates (dairy free as chocolate containing milk comes from the cruel dairy cow industry) or get you dad a DVD of his favourite show. Get your partner something you know they will like. Help create a world where we show the ones we love that we love them and don't wait until it's too late.
I totally agree with point three, Jennifer.
ReplyDeleteHow many times have I been cooped up in the office, with the occasional colleague popping in to drop a pile of paperwork on my In-Tray, only for them to disapear as quickly as they came. How many times could I have used the "digression" that person could have given me, even if only to rag on about his boss.
I know what you mean Gully. Some times it would be nice to chat.
