• Does it mean signing a petition to stop the destruction of the amazon?

• Does it mean getting your community involved in a massive clean-up?

• Does it mean promoting FairTrade products in your school?

• Is it protesting the Irish government to have good environmental and trade policies implemented here at home?

• Or finding ways to encourage dialogue between people of different cultures and socio-economic classes living in your town or city?
