I have seen many people suffered around the world. Some of them are starving, some of them need a place to live, while others need love and care. On the other side, our mother-earth is suffering too, there're too much pollution now.
I've been thinking about it, and I realized that I haven't done anything good for them yet. If I have a lot of money, I'll make some hospitals and orphanages for them. I also will plant some trees and give some money to make a reserves forest for some rare animals. How about you? Have you done something to make people happy? What will you do to make the world a better place to live?

yeah , the common answer "If only I were rich .....". There are ways that doesn't require money (or much). For starter you can categories your rubbish to recyclable item such as paper, plastic , aluminum can and other suitable categories.
Organise charity event or similar raising fund program to help those in need. This way all people can contribute and you do not need to donate a fortune for it. you can find volunteers that are eager to help and you have less job. All you need to do is just motivate them and give idea.
Forest reserving is the government job , As far as I know every country need a reserves forest and it has been set internationally ( I could wrong about this ). if you want to preserve those near extinct animal you could donate some money to Non Profit organisation that incharge of the rare animals. Any small amount will do and If allot of people doing what you do then they should be a problem raising enough money to save those rare and near extinct animals.
You ask what I had done ?. To be honest I done nothing big, for starters I din't litter . I always throw the rubbish into the bin. When ever I saw a rubbish near the bin I will gladly put it in. I know it doesn't seem big but it does matter. I am kinda stingy , probably I don't have enough my self so I won't be donating anytime soon. It all goes back to "if I were rich .... " then I will donate for sure . That is what I thought anyway..

I see. That's very kind of you to throw other's rubbish to the bin. As for me, well I do throw the rubbish to the bins, but for me, it's not enough, I want to do something better than that, and for those I need some money.

i don't have a lot of money, but that won't stop me from doing something for this earth. Once someone said to me that 10.000 miles journey begins with one small foot step. With that, i never chop down a tree, try my best to throw my garbage to it's proper place, and sometimes i got involved with those mother earth activist on some campaign. I try to reduce my fosil fuel usage, etc ...
