The Small Act
Do one small thing that makes someone else’s day better.
Then invite three others.
46 small acts today. 3 ripples still going.
How a ripple grows
One act. Three friends. Then theirs.
Ring someone older
Donate to a good cause.
Fixed the neighbors light
Hold a door
Trying to help catch 2 local stray cats which have a home waiting
Released a trapped bird from an elderly neighbours house
Every day, millions of small acts happen.
Most disappear unnoticed.
Imagine if they didn’t.
It does not have to be big. Hold a door, pick up litter, leave a kind note.
A sentence or two. Roughly where. No account needed.
Your pin joins thousands of others. Small acts, everywhere, every day.
Why this exists
Walking through the park one day, Andy picked up a discarded bag and put it in a bin. Then he did the maths. If everyone in the UK picked up one thing a day, that is sixty million small acts. So he built a map.
The challenge
My small act today is…
“I picked up litter in the local park.”
I’d like to nominate three people to start the next ripple:
Your turn.
What’s your small act?
