Ideas for Impact

1. Stand on a corner and ask random people what weighs them down in life. Have them write it down on a weight and respond: "Here, let me hold that for you for awhile." (No idea where this came from, must have been loopy from lack of sleep)

2. Find a way to convert the smoke that comes from burning trash into fresh and reusable air again. We could eliminate the worlds landfills, etc.

3. Offer a cremation site for people who need to get rid of old things but necessarily don't want anyone else to have/use them. Sort of a selfish burial for inanimate objects. A toast to the time that was spent.

4. Take a homeless person in for at least a day. Show them kindness, wash their clothes, feed them, etc.

5. Take anytime from 1hr to a full day and be free of anything/everything that is wasteful.

6. Volunteer your time, whether it be through an organization or to friends/family.

7. Pick a spot that has been used as a 'dump' and walk around picking up litter. (streets, alleys, medians, etc.)

8. Don't use water for a whole day.

9. Go through your closet, house, and donate that which you do not need. You get rid of clutter and it makes you feel good for providing use to others.

10. Set up a booth (downtown) just like Lucy from Peanuts does. 'The Doctor is in' 5 cents. Some may come up some may not but at least it may brighten someones day.

11. Take some colored chalk and start drawing on things. (Sayings, portraits, etc.)
