HOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR IMPACT AS AN SDGsACT MEMBER

End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change. Whoa. The Global Goals are important, world-changing objectives that will require cooperation among governments, international organizations and world leaders. It seems impossible that the average person can make an impact. Should you just give up?
No! Change starts with you. Seriously. Every human on earth—even the most indifferent, laziest person among us—is part of the solution. Fortunately, there are some super easy things we can adopt into our routines that, if we all do it, will make a big difference.
We’ve made it easy for you and compiled just a few of the many things you can do to make an impact.
LEVEL 1
Things you can do from your couch
Save electricity by plugging appliances into a power strip and turning them off completely when not in use, including your computer.
Stop paper bank statements and pay your bills online or via mobile. No paper, no need for forest destruction.
*Share, don’t just like. If you see an interesting social media post about women’s rights or climate change, share it so folks in your network see it too.
*Speak up! Ask your local and national authorities to engage in initiatives that don’t harm people or the planet. Ahead of the Climate Change conference in Paris you can sign this petition asking leaders to reach an agreement to lower their carbon emissions.
*Don’t print. See something online you need to remember? Jot it down in a notebook or better yet a digital post-it note and spare the paper.
*Turn off the lights. Your TV or computer screen provides a cosy glow, so turn off other lights if you don’t need them.
*Do a bit of online research and buy only from companies that you know have sustainable practices and don’t harm the environment.
*Stay informed. Follow your local news and stay in touch with the Global Goals online or on social media at @GlobalGoalsUN .
