Would you like to change the world? If so, We Are What We Do has wonderful suggestions about how you can change the world or at least your own, one small step at a time. Some of the actions are: read a story with a child, plant a tree, try watching less TV, seize the moment, take time to listen, etc.

You can even maintain your own list and check off the items when you accomplish them. It’s sort of like a goodwill to-do list!

In case you haven’t heard, Google is paying $1 to all you lucky U.S. folk who refer people to download Firefox with the Google Toolbar installed. This is like a win-win situation for everyone. It’s good for Firefox, good for Google, good for web surfers, and great for web developers.
