Is Good Citizenship good for you?

Is Good Citizenship good for you?
If you believe in a globalized world that what goes around comes around, then good citizenship is a no-brainer. Here's a list of 10 things you can do right now to be a better citizen!

A web search for Good Citizenship comes up with about 5,580,000 results. My definition is simple and I try to use it to guide my decisions and day to day life. It's one of the very reasons I decided to pursue the #LitterHero ideal and put this website together!  I don't always succeed, but it's a kind of way point that I can always refer back to.

Essentially, the idea is an ancient one: do to other what you would have done to yourself; in this case, I like a tidy back yard, a clean street, a pure environment enjoy and clean oceans for myself, my family and friends. To achieve these lofty goals all you or I have to do is consider other people as we go about our own lives. 

You don't have to believe in karma to realise that what you do will have an impact on other people. If your impact is positive you will build good things around yourself but if your impact is negative, you will destroy and harm yourself and others. You can have your cake and eat it too, so long as you don't leave the box on the side of the road.

So here's a list of 10 things you can do right now to be a better citizen, starting from the 4th grade up.
​
  1. Volunteer to be active in your community.
  2. Be honest and trustworthy.
  3. Follow rules and laws.
  4. Respect the rights of others.
  5. Be informed about the world around you.
  6. Respect the property of others.
  7. Be compassionate.
  8. Take responsibility for your actions.
  9. Be a good neighbor.
  10. Protect the environment.
