End extreme poverty. Fight inequality and injustice. Fix climate change. Whoa. The Sustainable Development Goals are important, world-changing objectives that will require cooperation among governments, international organizations, and world leaders. It seems impossible that the average person can make an impact. Should you just give up?
No! Change starts with you. Seriously. Every human on Earth—even the most indifferent, laziest person among us—is part of the solution. Fortunately, there are some super easy things we can adopt into our routines that, if we all do them, will make a big difference.
Have a look at just a few of the many things you can do to make an impact.
Level 1 Sofa Superstar: Things you can do from your couch
Save electricity
Plug appliances into a power strip and switch it off completely when not in use, including your computer.
Go paperless
No more paper bank statements. You can choose to pay your bills online or through an app.
Share, don’t just like
If you see an interesting social media post about women’s rights or climate change, share it, so folks in your network see it too.
Speak up!
Ask your local and national authorities to engage in initiatives that don’t harm people or the planet. You can also voice your support for the Paris Agreement and ask your country to ratify it or sign it, if it hasn’t yet.
Turn off the lights
Your TV or computer screen provides a cozy glow, so turn off other lights, if you don’t need them.
Report online bullies
If you notice harassment on a message board or a chat room, flag that person.
Stay informed
Follow your local news and stay in touch with the Global Goals online or on social media at @GlobalGoalsUN.

Tell us about your actions to achieve the Global Goals by using the hashtag #globalgoals on social networks.
