make the world better

As of December 31, 2003 the makeTheWorldBetter.com website has gone into a dormant state. This site was started three years ago as an experiment in expression and communication. The results have been surprising, revealing and insightful. Due to my personnel time demands and the amount of effort required by the Web-Voices Network, I have decided that it's time for this experiment to end. It's been fun. Thank you so much for your participation. The archives of all past submissions will still be available (click the Archive button below). However, we are not accepting any new submissions and any submissions received in 2004 and beyond will be discarded. This site may also expire, but you will always be able to get to the archives through the Web-Voices Network site (www.web-voices.net). Peace out, John.

You can make the world better in small ways. Be kind to a neighbor, pick up that ball of trash in a public park, don't run the water endlessly when you brush your teeth, teach your children to respect people who are different and the delicate environment, and so on. If we all did a few small things to make life on Earth better, it would amount to a big change.

Be politically active. Write, email or call your local, state and federal representatives. You'd be surprised at how many are actually responsive to contacts by their constituents. Talk to your neighbors, start a grass-root movement if you feel you can make a positive change with just a little help. The bottom line is, be active and not passive.

Despite the many challenges the world faces today, from terrorism to environmental concerns, don't give up hope. Humanity has great potential and even as we learn to live better as individuals, we learn to improve our lives as a whole. Caring and being thoughtful of one another is a great start.
