To create a better world, we must rebuild our communities.
A community is a group of individuals who work together
for the good of all members of the group. A community
can be a family, friends, neighbors, a nation, or the
world. Communities give us a sense of belonging and
purpose.
Starting a BetterWorld Club is a way to build community
and find fellowship, encouragement, guidance and direction
in our lives as we work to create a better world.
Your BetterWorld Club might consist of members of your
family, your place of worship, classmates in school,
friends and neighbors, or co-volunteers in a charitable
organization.
Or
your BetterWorld Club might be a virtual one that you
start on one of the many internet social networking
portals such as: FaceBook.com, WiserEarth.org, Change.org,
Idealist.org, and Care2.com.
BetterWorld
Clubs is a grassroots network. There is no registration
fee. It is not centrally organized by any one group
or organization, but when you start one, you are connected
to the global movement for a better world. BetterWorldClubs.org
offers more than 3000 free printable resources for BetterWorld
Clubs. Anyone can use these resources.
The golden rule for Betterorld Clubs is respect for
each member and a focus on encouraging living a life
of compassion to create a better world.
Hold
regular meetings. Discuss this book and your ideas for
a better world. Have a House Party to introduce others
to the BetterWorld Movement. Organize and work together
on a local project or event to strengthen your BetterWorld
Club and spread hope that a better world is possible.
What
Do Better World Clubs Do?
A
popular BetterWorld Clubs activity is to read and discuss
this book, "The BetterWorld Book" together
(you can print from the internet FREE) and share it
with everyone you know.

Another
important tool for all BetterWorld Clubs is the Better
World Shopping Guide. This pocket-sized book will help
you make easy spending choices for a better world and
show you that every dollar counts. As more and more
people make their spending decisions based on better
world principles, we will help transform our economy
into a more socially responsible and sustainable system.
Your
BetterWorld Club can get involved with a local charity
that is addressing your betterworld path, or you can
help by providing a nonprofit with a tax-deductible
donation. Check out Idealist.org for the most comprehensive
directory of nonprofits in every part of the world.
Most
Betterorld Clubs find that working together on a project
for a better world in their community helps strengthen
their Betterorld Club and spread hope that a better
world is possible. Better World Days like Diversity
Day, Tolerance Day, End Hunger Day and Peace Day are
perfect occasions for creating community-building events
and activities.
