"The world is not an ideal place for lots of people. What can YOU do to make it better?"

The final of Birthday Blogging for "Blog Week Birthday Bastion 2024" 

When I think about making the world a better place. There are a lot of small things we can do to improve it. The first idea that comes to mind is just helping with the environment. Try your best to reduce trash. Waste builds up over time and if everyone does little things it can go a long way

This varies based on location but New York and probably most of the U.S has a fantastic recycling program. New York divides its recycling into three sets of materials - Plastics and Metals, Paper/Cardboard and Organic / Compostable. Those three categories provide a lot of materials that can really eliminate a lot of stuff that would otherwise fill trash locations. From my own experience my household accumulates a 2 gigantic bags of recycling material over the course of a week which is roughly 2/3 of the stuff that would wind up in a trash bin so it really reduces waste a lot.

The other thing that can help the world to be better is helping other people in need. There are two ways that I know about helping people. One of them is donating money. The other is volunteering in food banks. This is one aspect that I could probably be better at. I try to donate from time to time but I don't volunteer often enough. The last time that I volunteered was a Thanksgiving food drive handing out thanksgiving meals. It is something that I need to work on in the future.

There are other small things that you can do to make the world a better place as well. Helping friends and family over the course of a week goes a really long way. Try to make life better for the people around you can really help a lot.
