Stay awake to what's happening around us, ecologically, environmentally, socially and politically.
Don't get hung up by other people’s "shoulds and shouldn'ts".
Occasionally re-examine your personal values. If they aren't in alignment with what you think the world needs, change them.
Stop blaming people. Others are as much victims of the times as we are - even CEOs and politicians.
Blame, anger and outrage are pointless. They waste precious energy that we will need for more useful work.
Laugh a lot, at everything - including ourselves.
Hold all the world's various beliefs and "isms" lightly, including our own.
Forgive others. Forgive ourselves. For everything.
Love everything just as deeply as you can.

These actions will help no matter what consumer choices you make.
