Turn off your TV * Leave your house * Know your neighbors
Look up when you are walking * Greet people * Sit on your stoop
Plant Flowers * Use your library * Play together
Buy from local merchants * Share what you have * Help a lost dog
Take children to the park * Garden Together * Support Neighborhood Schools
Fix it even if you didn't break it * Have Pot Lucks * Honor Elders
Pick Up Litte * Read Stories Aloud * Dance in the Street
Talk to the Mail Carrier * Listen to the Birds * Put up a Swing
Help Carry Something Heavy * Barter For Your Goods * Start A Tradition
Ask A Question * Hire Young People for Odd Jobs * Organize a Block Party
Bake Extra and Share * Ask For Help When You Need It * Open Your Shades
Sing Together * Share Your Skills * Take Back the Night
Turn Up The Music * Turn Down The Music * Listen Before You react To Anger
Mediate A Conflict * Seek To Understand * Learn From New And Uncomfortable Angles
Know That No One is Silent Though Many Are Not Heard
