THE ENVIRONMENT

50 (small) Ways to Change the World

By Derek Workman

Make a cup of coffee for someone who’s busy, shout with happiness, don’t swear for 30 minutes, pick one piece of litter up every day, make sure you use both sides of the writing paper, or shake someone’s hand. These may not seem like things that will change the world, but hopefully they will help to make it a better place. At least that’s what the people from: “We Are What We Do’ (WAWWD) think.

RECONNECTING

David Robinson had been a community worker of 25 years when in 2004, he decided to write a document called Reconnecting. It eas about the need for change in society and the power of people coming together to make it happen. He gathered people from a wide range of backgrounds to see how it could be done. They asked the question. “What would you ask one million people to do to change the world?” Thousands of people from all over the world replied, and the result was the best-selling book. Change the World for a Fiver - 50 actions to change the world and make you feel good. It was later published in six countries and sold over a million copies worldwide.

THE NEXT GENERATION

The first book was based on the ideas of people of all ages, but for the next book they decided to make one especially for children – and asked them to create it too. The thousands of interesting, intriguing and wonderful ideas for actions sent in by almost four–and-a-half thousand children were narrowed down to thirty and became Teaching Your Granny To Text. And Other Ways To Save The World. (The little is based on a suggestion by a young lady named Erica). Every school in England now has a copy of the book.
