We all know the world is screwed up. But there is much good as well. I'm creating this collaborative instructable as way for everyone to share a simple step that could be taken to improve the world. As a whole, these steps would be a powerful tool for anyone looking to help heal the world and improve it in some way.

Love is a good first step.
I find there is far too much negativity in public discourse. On nearly every topic of discussion, negatives seem to be emphasized over the positives. I've seen plenty of bumper stickers and shirt designs against something or other, but very few in support of something (other than sports teams).
So the first tiny baby step on how to heal the world is this:
Be brave. Make and wear a shirt with a solely positive message that you really mean.
I used permanent marker to make this one. Whoever you are reading this. I love you (In a brotherly, non-romantic sort of way). I say be brave, because as an introvert, I've always felt this way, but have a hard time expressing it. It was very scary for me the first time I wore this shirt to school. Now it's kind of exciting. Some people even smile and wave when they read the shirt. It feels good to spread that kind of love.
Please feel free to add your own step to this instructable, on some small thing one could do to help heal the world.
Thanks.

. Volunteer. Even if it's just an hour or two once a year. There are plenty of good causes out there that could use whatever your particular talent is. {A good volunteer activity for me has been reshelving books at local elementary schools, helping serve food as a soup kitchen, and visiting folks in nursing homes. Many times, you can simply look them up in the phone book and ask to volunteer. --R}
.
. Tithe. Or something close to it. I'm not religious, but I like the idea of giving a little something back (I've had lots of help over the last 50 years).
.
. Practice chivalry ("based on brave, courteous and honourable behaviour " what came to be known as 'gentlemanly conduct'"). Especially the courteous and honourable parts.

(and on the back you could put "surprise hugs, $2.00" to tryand make some money.... but you might need to watch where you wear it.for instance, not at a nursing home.)
Heck, after paving the earth why not chrome the moon.
