Michael Norton
365 Ways to Change the World
2008 edition

Thanks for taking an interest in our book. The book is written by Michael Norton. Michael spent two years collecting ideas, developing details and researching further information sources and a practical guide to things that everyone can do everyday.

(If you want to go into more detail about particular issues, he also offers lots of additional places you can investigate to find out more.)

Michael promotes the idea that it is always worth doing something, and no-one needs to feel irrelevant to the world's problems. He's written the book in an intelligent, exciting and straightforward way that will help you realise how much even your own small and individual actions can help make a difference and how much fun you can have doing them!

This ingenious handbook suggests one action for every day of the year - some are intriguing, many are unusual, a few involve fundraising, almost all can be planned or done from your home or computer, most will be fun, all are achievable.

Including...

* Support trade justice: buy three footballs
* Avoid landfalls: start freecycling
* Create a lifeline: for remote African villages with wind-up radio
* Sow the seeds of a green revolution: go guerrilla gardening
* Organise a fundraising event: speed dating for safer childbirth
