Not sure if this is the right place to put this but I just recentley picked up a book i bought for my brother a few years ago called 101 things to do before you die and quite frankly the ideas were mostly pretty silly and some of them down right unethical. A taster includes:
Visit every country in the world,
Get arrested,
Get barred from a pub,
Experience weightlessness,
etc etc etc,
So anyhow I go thinking about an alternative list of 101 ethical things to do before you die.
I'll start:
1. Get an allotment/garden and grow veg.

Go on a conservation holiday. I haven't yet, but my friend is going dry stone-walling next year which sounds pretty cool!

15 - volunteer!
16 - plant a tree
17 - teach some one a skill you have ( eg knitting, sewing, wood working.)
18 - dance naked in the rain
19 - stop buying cheap imports.
20 - go and have a cuppa with your neighbours ( difficult but worth the effort! and surprising how nicer it makes them)
21- do a random act of kindness every day! smiles are infectious and hugs dont cost a thing.
