What is it that we can really do to make the world ...

I think it is true, but I also think that enough people have to want it in order for there to be a change. If enough people have the same motivation then it is easier to initiate change, via elected representetives or in many other ways... It's a question of getting organized in order to get stronger

It starts with you. Stay on a solid moral base and don't deivate. Try to obey the laws in your country. Attend social activities that have a clear meaning and not hidden agenda. Don't trash the highways r country side, r city streets, etc. Many things you will do in your life will help and if all of us would do and stick to just a moral base, that by itself would make a great change in the world. Just keep asking questions. None of us  r perfect, but as a whole (the majority of the people)we can change the world for ourself and our future generations. have fun..

Every individual needs to decide what they're passionate about and where they care to make their footprint.  I think that all of these passions combined will create a very positive future. 

Besides stop littering and going to social activities I think in order for the world to change people need to change their attitudes.  So many people hate everyone else and its sickening.  People are still so bias when it comes to a persons race, color, religion, sexuality, weight, height, ect.  ect. ect. Why does it matter if a person is gay? black? white? 

chinese? lesbian? christian? jewish? or 300 pounds?  

if everyone would just get a long the world would be a much 

better place!!! 

Stop the consumer race, try to realize that there isn't an endless supply of anything, including air and sunlight, and start acting accordingly and more responsibly.

I realize it doesn't say much, but if I had to say all that in one word, I'd say:

recycle!
