✔Doesn’t make you feel too good about the world when you read all that and realise in some way we are all responsible. But lets stay positive on this and come up with some ways to solve or at least improve these problems. Here’s some things you can do.
- Share these issues, let other people know. People already know about them, but its always good to reinforce ideas.
- Discuss them with friends and family. You’ll be surprised who also cares about these issues.
- Join local protest groups or start your own.
- Pressure governments for change
- Sign petitions online
- Search the web for people with similar ideas.
- Stand up against people who perpetuate these injustices.
- Don’t give in to the corporate world or greed.
- Don’t be seduced by shiny things.
