Jennifer Austin had long awaited the day that her husband would finally return from the hospital. Don Austin arrived home on Friday only to find an obstacle standing in his way: the stairs to his front door. Don had his leg amputated below the knee. Though he had crutches handy, he still wasn’t strong enough to make it up the stairs to their house.
A neighbor, Steve Smith saw the family struggling with the steps. He asked if they needed help. Steve then scooped Don up into his arms, carried him into the house, and put the man down on the couch. Steve, who happened to also be a welder, then returned the next day with his father so they could build a wheelchair ramp for Don.

Boyan Slat is putting forth the effort to clean up the ocean with his trash-collecting booms.
“He's set to launch his garbage-collecting booms in 2018, after a two-year feasibility study. Just six years from his Greek dive to solution, the $320 million donated to his cause seem to have been worthwhile investments. According to Slat's current estimates, his booms will collect about 50 percent of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch in just five years (his previous estimate was that he would be able to collect 42 percent of it over 10 years).”

As human beings, we connect to nature with a force as strong as the pull of gravity. We depend on nature. Zoos, aquariums, botanical gardens, national parks, the conservation movement—indeed, the Wildlife Conservation Society—were all created with a desire to maintain and strengthen that connection. Saving wildlife is our history and our future. With this strategy, we renew our commitment to the protection of the world's wildlife.

Sometimes people just do nice acts without the need to be seen. Giving for the sake of giving and feeling good that you may have really help someone is sometimes enough. “In the past couple weeks, grocery shoppers in an Oregon town have found $100 bills stuffed into everyday food items, like eggs, cookies and candy bars, and inside shopping carts — all for the taking. These acts are random and most shoppers are unaware of the special gift until they arrive home.”
You can get your local government to take small steps to maintain the environment. For example, In 2006, Mayor Ron Littlefield signed the U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, which committed Chattanooga to cutting carbon dioxide emissions 7 percent below our 1990 levels. And one of the biggest ways both individuals and businesses, big and small, can help to go green is by planting trees. The Take Root campaign strives to inspire Chattanooga to do its part to help stop climate change. By planting trees on the major arteries of the city, we can reduce our carbon footprint and inspire Chattanoogans to "go green."
In many stressed areas the simple basic use of soap is a luxury. It is a well known fact that the use of soap has reduced the spread of illness and has improved general health. Where soap is unavailable this is not the case. Derrieck Kayango found a source of free soap that can be collected and sent to distressed areas and begin to improve the health in those areas. Each day millions of people shower in a hotel room and head off to meet the day, leaving behind a lightly used bar of soap that a hotel maid generally throws in the trash. Meanwhile, somewhere in the world, a mother cradles her dying child, one of 4 million people who will die annually from intestinal diseases because of a lack of access to soap and clean water. This soap can be used to change these conditions.
