How are you going to save the world?

Asked by everephebe (11611points) December 24th, 2010 from iPhone

Video games, movies, and books all have heroes who, save the world or universe. How would you, how are you practically helping to, make the world better (and save it.)

All ideas welcome. Half glasses if all sorts.

The world does not need my input to save it because.
So whether I do or do not do, it will be saved…

nevertheless by being myself I am doing my part.

The world was just fine for billions of years before I came along, and will be for the billions of years it has left.

you have to make plans for the future, one of the first steps to save the world is to use the new inventions to help people not to destroy them, take care of innocent animals, plants, etc…
you have to make plans for the future to get benefit from every minute as much as possible

I’ll properly expose my film.

I’m with @YARNLADY.

I’m just along for the ride.

Wonderful answers so far.

I mean to say what are you doing to make this planet and this universe better?

I myself have done naught, but naught, progress is slow but is.

One person at a time.

As a mother, I’m working hard on turning three great kids into caring, compassionate, and intelligent adults.

Other little ways to save the world a person at a time:

Bring a smile to a stranger’s face.
Help a friend in need.
Be kind. Be open. Be honest.

Well I would say it begins with self and if one can become one with the world, nation, universe then we can expand that be giving of ourselfs to others who then do the same. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you.

I too agree that change comes about one person at a time. I’m trying to be the best person I can be; open, compassionate and grateful for each extra day I get to live the fullest life I can live.

Someone will save the world.
But not me

The natural world can only be saved by leaving it alone.

Coloma's avatar

Yes, the world does not need saving. Everything that unfolds is perfect, for either the salvation of destruction of such, it is destiny.

On a ‘personal’ level I live simply and peacefully, exude positive energy, humor, care for my property and wildlife, my animals, and create my own Nirvana. :-)

@Hedaru you are way more important than you think you are honey, we all are. If everybody just did what we’re taught as children and treated everyone we meet with kindness (and maybe the occassional hug) think what a world we’d be living in. Everybody can make the world a better place just by being in it. Hope eveyone’s having a brillliant day,

By ensuring that those who surround me, family and friends and acquaintances, know they are loved. : )

Love changes things. It does so slowly, but the change is permanent.

’@CaptainHarley GA, what a lovely thought <hugs>

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

I’d start right now,but I have a run in my superhero tights.I just won’t leave the house like that ;)

CaptainHarley's avatar

@bunnygrl

Thank you. I learned that the hard way, as with most things I have learned. : )

I have come to believe that love is perhaps the most powerful force in the universe. It’s like a slow dripping of water that eventually wears a path through the hardest granite.

@ZEPHYRA

Hey, get your finger off that button, I happen to LOVE the earth and being alive! lol

bunnygrl's avatar

@CaptainHarley Why is it that every important lesson we learn in life comes from a bad experience? never a good one. I don’t remember a single lesson in my life that hasn’t hurt terribly.
hugs xx

CaptainHarley's avatar

Because pain ( of whatever sort ) makes a deep impression. It’s possible to learn important lessons from others, but the ones we learn from pain seem to make more of an impression on us.

JilltheTooth's avatar

I’ve learned some great lessons from joy. Just sayin’.

bunnygrl's avatar

@CaptainHarley because these experiences change us, we survive bad experiences, but are altered by them. I can’t even say that they’ve made me stronger because I know that isn’t true. I used to cope a great deal better with life than I do now. Now I survive it, a day at a time. <hugs>

@JilltheTooth really? I don’t remember a single good experience in my life that taught me a life lesson, you’re very lucky honey, and I’m glad for you <hugs>

JilltheTooth's avatar

As sappy as it sounds, it’s the parenting thing. More joy than pain, and many deep life lessons learned. I learned lots from the pain as well, I just wanted to say that not all of what we learn deeply is from pain.

bunnygrl's avatar

@JilltheTooth <hugs> I’m glad for you honey. That just hasn’t been my experience at all, I so wish I could say it has, but I’m so glad that it has been yours. Hope you’ve had a lovely Christmas day honey.

I live simply. I try hard not to waste things I buy. I compost and recycle. I work hard to be kind and helpful and set a good example. I challenge authority when what they do is hurtful, wasteful or wrongheaded.

CaptainHarley's avatar

@bunnygrl Different people handle stress differently. I learned to handle stress while engaged in combat operations, but I’ve never had to face the stress of losing a child ( by whatever means ). My wife, on the other hand, lost a 16 year old daughter to cancer, perhaps the most stressful experience any woman can have.

Each of us had to deal with the stress in our own way, me by prayer and meditation, she by retreating from the world enitrely for awhile. Both ways worked to one degree or another.

I refuse to go to any movie directed by Michael Bay.

I refuse to go to any more movies directed by Michael Moore! LOL! : D

I change the world one person that I touch at a time. That includes my children, family, friends, my patietns and strangers for whom I advocate.

JilltheTooth's avatar

@Simone_De_Beauvoir ; I know I’ve said this before, but I truly feel you guys are world savers.

Simone_De_Beauvoir's avatar

@JilltheTooth Stop, you… and thank you!
