Turn off your laptop
Turn off your tv
Leave your house
Know your neighbours
Look up when you’re walking
Greet people
Pet pets
Play together
Make a baby giggle
Barter for your goods or talents
Buy from local merchants
Share what you have
Take Children to the park
Honour elders’ advice
Fix it even if you didn’t break it
Have pock lucks
Plant seeds
Pull weeds
Believe
Garden together
Pick up litter
Dance in the streets
Talk to the mail (wo)man
Hire young people for odd jobs
Organize block parties
Bake extra and share
Sing together
Share your skills
Laugh
Take back the night
Turn up the music
Turn down the music
Listen
Seek peace
Seek to understand
Eat well.
Feed your soul
Use internet for good and awesome
Build on line community.

This is our edited version of a poem we saw on a poster at Ten Thousand Villages . We don’t know who actually wrote it but when we do, we will credit appropriately.
