2.  Buysomeone a coffee or pay for the persons
order behind you in a drive through or line
up

3.  Making your lunch for work? Make 2 and give
one away to someone who needs it.

give out on your way back home or to work.

people who are hungry.

4.  Goingon a winter vacation this year? Bring a
few extra pairs of flip flops and give them to
some of the locals.

5.  Help start a community garden in your area
or just volunteer. Another idea is to plant
flowers/plants in rough or ugly areas of your
city. There has been a huge movement called
"Guerrilla Gardening"-Google it and you can
find some really cool stuff!

6.  Send a good ol' fashioned thank you card.
One of my fave ideas: when you get really
great service somewhere or someone went
out of their way to help you-send them a
thank you card or make sure to really
highlight it to their manager to make them
feel noticed and appreciated.

7.  Give a gift to someone who least expects it
(mail man, delivery person, a teacher, local
fire or police department etc.)

up garbage when you see it or take 1
hour on your weekend to collect garbage in
your area

one day.

people are in desperate need of blood and
you could save someone's life.

11.  Helpyour parents, roommate etc with
cleaning/chores that they would usually do
themselves

12.  Give10 compliments a day for a week to
strangers or people you know.

13.  Donate used clothing, canned goods or your
time to a charity who needs it. A great idea
is to hang all of your hangers backwards in
your closet, then after 6 months, all the
hangers that are still backwards and have not
been moved...those clothes get donated.

14.  Buyfrom companies that are doing the right
thing. Examples: Ten Tree Clothing & Toms
Shoes. They are called one for one
companies. You buy from them and they give
back to a cause or people in need.

15.  Go into a movie theatre and purchase tickets
from the automated machines and leave the
tickets there with a note saying- enjoy the
movie!

this Christmas to buy from only local stores,
local products. A great site for this is
etsy.com they have many handcrafted items.

17.  Openthe door for people, say please and
thank you. Smile-it goes a long way.

18.  When driving in rush hour or winter
conditions, let people in, be polite-it might
just make their day

19.  Parked near a lot of other cars when it has
just snowed? Brush off their vehicles for
them.

20.  Shovelall the walks for your elder neighbors
or rake their leaves
