Requesting all PPers to join and share every little step they are taking in their life for the betterment of society and towards making this world a better place.

These could be the smallest of things but the idea is to encourage each other and know that every little step taken matters.

No one is perfect. We are all flawed persons at so many levels but the beauty of life and human conscience is that every day you have choices. Plenty of them. Choices that could change the course of your life or someone's.

Before saying something or doing something, we should always take a moment and ask ourselves if our actions or words will help bring a positive change in this world. If not maybe it's not worth it.

We must introspect and live for the greater good.

We must leave for our future generations a world that is better than what we got.

Encouraging all PPers to join and contribute.

When I'm in public I try to say hi to random people and just have casual conversation.

I think helps because 90% of people my age don't do this because they are on their phones.

But phones are hurting people's social skills.

So hopefully talking and communicating is something that doesn't die out because as of now it's only the older people who do it.

That's a wonderful thought to begin with. I couldn't agree more with you. Social media obsession is turning us into weird people in real life. We must learn to appreciate the world around us and have some interest in people we happen to be surrounded with.

The internet was meant to facilitate connections and information sharing. Not something to be plugged into 24x7.
 
Trying to present a better picture of Islam than they see in mideia to my Norwegian colleagues.

Prejudices(?) are a big problem in the society here.
 
Bhaijaan wants us to do an "apney moonh mian mithu aka self praise" :yk


Anyways, I'm making/saving lots of money for myself and the familia.
Being respectful to elders and kind to young'uns.
Being positive.
Try to recycle as much as I can.
Am in perfect physical shape (Alhamdulillah)1,82cm (75-77kgs).
Learning and improving ;)
 
I am taking care of my litter in an appropriate way. Much more environmental friendly now then I have ever been in the past. More then anything else we have to think of the planet before it swallows us all up. I am thinking of buying some land in Pak and doing some farming even though I know nothing about it! Growing your own food is the future. Any advice on zameendari would be welcome.

I am trying to pay less attention to all the fake and dishonest people who indulge in virtue signaling so that I have more time to spend with genuine people.

That’s wonderful. Good luck to you brother.

Climate change is real and the repercussions of ignoring it are horrific.

As mentioned above, we must leave a better world for our upcoming generations than the one we got.

I read one article few weeks ago which was positive. Apparently NASA’s satellite images review show that the world is greener today than it was 20 years ago and most of the change has been led by China and India. So some good work is going on as well. We must continue our efforts.

Good on you my friend.

We must learn from the Sikh community who are the first to come in support of the needy whenever there is a calamity or civilian crisis.

Overall I feel the best way forward is just to be good humans and keep religion a private practice.

What’s the general perception of muslims in your country.

In fact we must learn from the earlier Muslims like Sayyidi Umar (ra) who started a welfare system 1400 years ago which we see in many western countries today.

Generally the norwegians are good people, but of course media has a big tole to play here as well.

Recyclingmg is great.

We must use reusable products as much as we can.

I have reduced usage of polythene bags significantly. Although banned by government but many small scale retailers still give products in poly bags.

I use my own Khadi bag in buying such items.

Also trying to make use of rough paper in office as back up notebook.

Indeed.

Overall i would like to see more contribution in this regard but without political agendas. Idea must be to simply serve humanity and life forms without seeking any gains in return.
 
helping people even if it is to show them which department is where in my hospital and outside hospital ,which gives me special feelings.

Used to do some voluntary work with disadvantaged youngsters.

Cycling fundraisers for British combat veterans and their families, helping them with PTSD, homelessness, mobility issues.

Active in local political party, trying to get more councillors elected who will work for people.

Mainly vegetarian.

Put solar panels on my roof.

Generally give everyone a ton of praise and encouragement especially kids and young adults.

Wow Robert. You are doing a great job. Kudos to you.

Also i am quite glad to know two of the most prominent Britishers on this forum are both into vegetarian diet. That's great.

It's a great quality.

I get very irritated personally when people refuse to help.

But then i realize later that it's little tough and thankless in chaotic and crowded countries like India. Many times people intentionally pretend to not know stuff simply to avoid being questioned non stop by crowd.
 
Good thread! Nice to read above posts.

I try to save electricity as much as possible. I avoid use cooling fans and use it only if it's necessary. I keep alarms to switch off my refrigerator for some time in a day. Whenever I drive alone, I offer car pool.
 
LOL just bought a Lincoln Navigator. Clearly not contributing anything positive to this world lol.
 
I have been thinking of teaching underprivileged kids and providing them free meals every sunday.
 
Been volunteering each year during summer time for the last 3 years to plant trees around Canadian national parks (we go as a huge group) and clean up the plastic trash filthy people leaves around the parks which greatly endangers wildlife. People just doesn't seem to understand that if you got no EARTH to live at, you ain't gonna be living at all.
 
I have lots of pets. Generally more than 10 at a time. I like to give as many animals as I am physically able to handle a good life in my house, alongside my wife.

Two factors really - firstly disgust at factory farming methods. Secondly attempting to reduce my personal carbon footprint - meat farming can be very wasteful of water and carbon intensive.
