100 Ways to Make the World a Better Place (Baby Steps)

To acknowledge my 100th post, what has happened this year and what is happening currently, today I have 100 Ways to Make the World a Better Place. These 100 SUGGESTIONS may or may not INDIRECTLY or directly help to make the world a better place. I believe that baby steps are the best way to progress through any task. Also if you work to make yourself better for the world and if everyone does so, then somehow the world will be a better place. So much is going on right now in the world, so much has happened and it is time to change our ways.
