Tell Us What’s Right
At San Diego’s EarthFair 2008, we began collecting cards on which people wrote about something they believed was right with the world. It could be anything – an organization you support, an ideal you uphold, an experience you had with someone on the street, something kind act you witnessed – anything at all.
We want you to send us a letter, picture, card, story, drawing or something else that shows what you think is right with the world. What’s right about the Earth? People? Faith? Our goal is to create a compilation book with all the images, notes, cards, etc. that we receive and to publish it, with all profits going to benefit organizations that are sustaining the Earth, caring for People, and believing that Faith can transform lives.
Put your story, or sentence, or photo, or drawing, etc. in the mail and we’ll make it part of the Do What’s Right book! Send you submissions to:
Do What’s Right
611 K Street Suite B
#212
San Diego CA 92101
If you have a photo, graphic art, video or audio clip, or some other media that you would prefer to send via email, great! Use this: submissions@dowhatsright.org
Feel free to start by leaving comments below! We look forward to hearing what you think is right!

One of my customers and her friends recently started up Project Resiliance in LA. They are getting ready to host their first fundraiser on June 14th for the Panzi Hospital in Congo. I think they’re “doing what’s right” and I’m inspired by their commitment to their cause. projectresiliance.org

I love the t-shirts!
The staff at my favorite coffee shop always give me a discount ’cause they appreciate my help with their music program. That’s right!

I have a friend that ’sponsored’ a Ugandan child. He got involved with the sponsorship agency. He went on a trip to Uganda to help organize the Teachers at a school for the kids, and actually met his sponsored child. He was so moved he is working through becoming one of the first people to legally adopt a child from Uganda, into the U.S.
Thats right.

What’s right is not taking things for granted: the sunshine that gives us warmth, the green trees that give us oxygen, the ocean and mountains and everything around us is here for us to enjoy, not destroy.
Thinking about how what we do each day effects the environment is a good place to start… but ultimately giving glory to God for making and sustaining his beautiful creation is even better!

Having true friends that care for you are something that’s right – who have nothing but your best interests at heart.
Having them reminds me to “be a friend to others” as well…

I think “Doing what’s Right” starts with the basics that so many of us have forgotten in our busy and hectic lives. For me, it means slowing down, paying attention, closing my mouth and listening, watching what is happening around me, etc. I have thought a lot about this lately and it is hard to do sometimes, but when I have actually thought about it and put my mind to do it, amazing things happen…. you would be surprised what you can do to help when you just stop, look and listen, then take action.
That’s right.

Doing what’s right, is something I can really only speak for myself, as I believe it’s relative to every person. For me to do what’s right is to take the ethical and moral action, in the best interest of the greater good. Sometimes it’s something as easy as volunteering, supporting a good cause with financial support, or just helping someone in need such as helping a stranger carry their bags or giving up a seat on the trolley. Yet, it can be more complicated than that, where we need to choose what is in the best interest of other and yet have to make a personal sacrifice.
I’ll personally begin this movment by being cognizant of doing what’s right, in daily living, and try to expand my sphere of doing right by taking action when ever possible.

To accept being unpopular, to go against what is widely accepted, to love when it feels easier to hate…
Doing what is right isn’t always easy, but it is always right.

A friend did right when he turned me on to this site. I was happy to learn that others want to reorient our focus on what’s good and right in our world. Check it out for some good news: http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org

At Featherstone Christian Camp, just northeast of Barona, we have opportunity to include in the regular curriculum, a study of the environment. The children and adults learn about our beautiful world and the Creator who made it all. I believe that’s right.

A friend of mine just had a baby. He’s still in the hospital. Another friend of mine organized a whole round of support for this new mom and dad by scheduling meals. Some more friends decided to pitch in and are delivering meals daily. That is right.
