Actions
Actions are about your own personal behaviour change.Transform yourself transform the planet!
Actions are a way of you personally taking small but significant steps to reaching your personal vision. Sometimes the enormity of a goal can be over whelming, it can be easier to break your goal into steps to get you there. This is what actions are all about. Actions can be shared by others in the community who are inspired either by your personal vision or your action, enabling you to motivate each other.
For example: If your target was to reduce the amount of cars on the road in your local community your first action would be to reduce the amount of times you drive your car per week. The next action might then be to urge people in the local community to do the same and track the success. If the actions are working this could inspire a new project enabling you to link up with like-minded individuals and specialists through the site to enable you to create lasting change.

Recognize that change is needed!
One of the fundamental qualities of Our Future Planet is its recognition that change is needed and is valuable.

I feel the need to take immediate action enabling us to care for the earth in a loving way. Taking control of underused or misused land is a practical initiative, motivated by a moral or spiritual imperative.

Resolve to sign one petition each week on an issue close to your heart
Many of us have a cause or issue close to our hearts and it is not as difficult as you might think to make a difference! My New Year's Resolution in 2011 is to sign at least one petition or letter writing campaign a week to contribute to positive change. Many NGOs have their own campaigns and petitions including GreenPeace, UNICEF, the RSPCA, Amnesty International and many more. Letter writing to your local MP can be equally effective and only takes one forward thinking member of the community to kick-start. The government has an online platform for petitions that is monitored by... Read more

If we all think a little less about ourselves, and more about how what we're doing is affecting other people, we might end up being that little bit less selfish, more inclined to be sensitive to others and their situations.

There are so many ideas out there that deserve a hearing and more complete understanding. My role is to help communicate and explain them - always remembering that we can't do everything at once. Like the Oblique Strategies card says: "Always First Steps."

When we take the gold standard out of our daily lives by adopting barter/trading and gifting/giving we give ourselves tha capasity to see the people instead of the stuff or the bank roll.
