**You want to make a difference in the world, but don’t know where to begin. Now
you can. Here is just the guide to lots of exciting ways that are more personal 
and fun than merely writing a cheque. **

For every day of the year, _365 Ways to Change the World_ is packed with information
and ideas that don’t take a lot of special skills to put into action, but will achieve
something positive:

 * Observe a “Buy Nothing Day”
 * Plant a “peace pole”
 * Sew a panel for an AIDS memorial quilt
 * 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; to help you take action, a complementary website links straight
to many of the sources listed in the book.

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.
