Each morning is the beginning of
a new day and another chance to
make the world a better place.
Think your actions don’t make a
difference? Think again!
Taking small, mindful actions
for positive improvement can
have a great impact on your com-
munity and inspire others to do
the same. There are so many op-
portunities to do good for the
planet, and many of them are
right under your nose.
Here are three ways you can
do your part to make the world a
better place...all before 10 a.m.
• Concentrate on yourmorn-
ing routine. So much of what we
do in the morning can be con-
densed to consume less and do
much more.Try to reduce your wa-
ter usage by shortening your show-
er time and don’t let it run while
you brush your teeth. Make your
own coffee and lunch to cut down
on food packaging waste. Carpool
to put fewer vehicles on the road
and get to know your co-workers.
• Engage in “mindful” acts
of kindness. Make it a point to
hold the door open for a stranger,
compliment your co-worker’s
outfit or new hairstyle, or buy a
snack for the person behind you
in line. To be kind is an act of sol-
idarity, and doing good for others
will inspire members of your
community to do the same. Kind-
ness is the currency of change:
spend wisely and often.
• Learn about new ways to
recycle. Did you know that Malt-
O-Meal cereal bags can be recy-
cled through a free program in
partnership with TerraCycle, a
New Jersey-based recycling com-
pany? To begin with, Malt-O-
Meal bagged cereal creates 75
percent less packaging waste than
boxed cereal with a bag inside.
Through the MOM Brands Ce-
real Bag Recycling Program, you
can ensure that none of it ends up
in the landfill and raise money for
charity at the same time!
