An incomplete guide to phasing out D-bagginess
This is the first in a series of posts about the small things people can do in their lives to change the social climate. If they were done on a large scale, the world would be a much better place.
Here are today’s four:
4.If you’re sick, don’t go to the gym. Coughing all over the lat machine is going to make other people sick and keep the illness alive. Coughing into the hands that you’re going to use to grab onto the heart monitor sensors on the treadmill isn’t an acceptable alternative. I suggest coughing into your elbow. Even better: quarantine and eliminate the spread of infectious diseases by staying home.
3.If you’re having a bad day, isolate yourself. I can’t recall how many times I’ve talked to people who were obviously having horrible day. I will admit that I am guilty of doing it. A bad mood is a highly contagious disease. Just be quiet if you’re having a crappy day. It’s that easy.
2. Don’t park like an asshole.
1. Donate to a public school. Schools in Texas are funded by the property taxes that no one wants to see increased. As a result, children who go to public school get the educational shaft when the district doesn’t have enough money for materials. I know teachers who have used their shrimpy salaries to buy classroom supplies. http://www.donorschoose.org is an easy way to give what you can.
If you have small ways to do things differently which can make a big difference, please share them with me.
