We Are What We Do is a new kind of movement inspiring people to change the world one small action at a time.( Developed by Eugene Harvey and supported by the Joffe Charitable trust.)
Our philosophy is simple:
small actions x lots of people = big change
We have the 130 small things that you can do to change really big things
I found out about this website when I was given one of their ir books
" Change the world for a fiver''. Features 50 simple actions to change the world and make you feel good.
"It is an ingeniously executed book aimed at galvanising alienated Britons to do something for a society devoid of fellow feeling and good neighbourliness." - The Guardian
"The book's themes and ethos really appealed to me," says Pauline Ireland, a drama teacher and citizenship co-ordinator at the Thomas Lord Audley School in Colchester, Essex. "They are things that young people ought to know, such as manners and helping others, but schools don't have the time to teach." - The Daily Telegraph.
The way the book stressing or gives examples of each point are unique and quirky.
The book they range from hand drawn illustration to photographs, it using ambient media to stress certain subjects. Its as if every page has a different concept, there are tearaway pages and products that you can use in the book so it interacts with the reader. It was designed by Antidote with a creative team of 9 people each creative individual that contributed to the book has done for free ( which reinforces the whole concept of ' "we are what we do'".)
If you can get your hands on this book I would strong recommended using it. I has some insignificant tasks in your day, but with some of these smalls actions your could make someone else day that much better.
Here's a couple of examples:
* recycle your mobile phone
*send time with someone from a different generation..
* Pay more when you buy a charity shops.
* take time to listen (combating derpression)
