How to be an Urban Change Agent

     We are always being told that it is our duty to take matters into our own hands and take action in our communities to promote both a healthier lifestyle and an eco-friendly environment. However, the problem is that nobody tells us exactly how to do that. So what now? There are such things called urban change agents which are basically a groups of committed individuals devoted to making a change. The truth is that real change is not going to be seen unless it is something simple that most people would not mind participating in and have the time for. Therefore, the job of the urban change agents is to make eco-friendly change simplistic and widespread. Some of those ideas include carpooling, starting a "Really Really Free Market," planting a community garden, and starting a nature group for kids. Take a look at some of the other possibilities, think about them, and take action.
