10 SIMPLE WAYS TO MAKE THE
WORLD A NICER PLACE

1. SMILE

AT OTHERS...

Smiling makes others feel good
when they see us doing it and it
makes us feel good, too. It allows
us to feel connected to other people, and this improves all of our
moods. When I smile at people in
the store and I get smiles in return, I notice that I get an immediate mood boost.

2. MAKE

EYE CONTACT WITH

PEOPLE...

Many times we look at
the ground or
our
phones
instead of acknowledging

and let them know how important they are to me because I
know that everyone wants to
know that they matter.

5. BE

POSITIVE...

Everyone benefits when we stop
complaining and find the positive
instead of focusing on the negative. We can make life easier for
ourselves, and the people around
us, if we stop worrying about the
worst-case scenarios and try to
make the best of our situations.
When we cultivate a positive
mindset, we not only feel more
positive, we’re also more likely to
create more positive circumstances.

We all want to live in a clean
and beautiful environment. The
first step is to recycle and take
care of our resources instead of
