[Declan Roden]

Hello, my name is Declan and I am relatively new to nerdfighteria, and I need help. I need to know how I as an individual can decrease world suck. I am fourteen years old, i live in Australia and I don't have much money, or other resources, but I really want to help decrease world suck. please help me. please give me some suggestions of anything I can do. whether it is something I can do just once or something I can do everyday I really need some ideas.

As far as gardening goes, it's hard to find land to rent where you can garden. Most lots are purposed for something. It depends on the city, it's hard in Edmonton, but I hear it's easier in other cities. We have a lot of urban sprawl here in Canada; our cities grow out rather than up. I garden on my balcony, since it's west-facing so I get sun from about noon on. Another option is find someone with a garden in their yard and offer to help them tend it in exchange for some of the crop. The real problem here is the short growing seasons, we got snow staring on Monday this week and it'll likely hang around until the end of April!

As for all of the ideas, this is the stuff that I am involved in most. I resonated a bit with the opening post because I have to fight world suck on the cheap because I am in university. I'm involved with a social justice group on campus called Students Against Global Apathy (SAGA) and that means doing things like raising money for KIVA donations and Cause Canada. We're going reverse trick-or-treating on Sunday and educating the public about fair trade products by handing out fair trade chocolates. :D

That is a great idea. I should be doing this. the fair treating.

[Amanda Irwin]

Maybe I should start a SAGA...

Sorry, I'm not really into idea or title stealing its just I never would of thought of that until you suggested it...

*starts to think of a new name*

Today, I decreased World Suck Levels by donating blood for the first time. It was awesome...in every sence of the word.

[Declan Roden]

I would like to donate blood, but unfortunately I am too young.

Smile at strangers in the street. Say hello to homeless people. Pick up rubbish and put it in the bin. Take an interest in local body politics. Dull, but someone has to.

RECYCLE!!! and i'm a member of Action Aid and they send me stuff like i once got these little cardboard things with statistics about world hunger to stick in the soil of plant pots etc., and i put them in loads of plants at school and around town, so i guess i'm saying try to raise awareness which is usually free, why don't you search for petitions of stuff you agree with that would make the world better, and make a free hugs sign and hug strangers!!! :)
