You want to make a difference in the world, but don't know where to begin. Now you can. 365 Ways to Change the World is a comprehensive guide full of exciting ways that are more personal and fun than merely writing a check.

-Collect rainwater to water your plants
The suggestions cover twelve important areas in which you can influence change, including in your local community, as a consumer, making a cultural contribution, and addressing problems such as the environment, health, and human rights. You can go through the book day by day or use the index to flip to the issues that concern you most. Great to give as well as to keep, this is an inspiring, practical resource for making the world a better place—one day at a time.
