Be informed. I need to be aware of the goings on in this world. I should take a lively interest in national and international affairs.
As a Canadian, I am pretty lucky to be able to have a voice. To have the right to free speech. Many people in the world are without a voice. As a global citizen, I can join with others to speak up for the rights of those without a voice.
As a consumer, I can make ethical choices. I can do a little research on fair trade and social clauses before making purchases. I can try not to be cynical as if no one person can make a difference.

I can let the government know when I oppose or support their work at a global level.
Most of all, I can act locally to take care of the part of the world where I live. Change usually starts at home.
