How Ordinary People Can Help Save the World from Its Biggest Threats -- Climate Change, Pollution, Pandemics, Terrorism, and War

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- To be alive today is to be scared—and for good reason. Scientists, generals, politicians, doctors, environmentalists and economists warn that in the next decade or two, doom may come in the form of climate change, overpopulation, pollution, terrorism, and nuclear war—all huge problems by themselves and catastrophic when taken together.

But there are steps ordinary people can take before the world reaches these devastating tipping points, says Lyle Benjamin, a lifelong entrepreneur, activist, optimist, and creator of Planned Acts of Kindness, a global social responsibility initiative designed for the age of technology. People who sign up for the program receive notifications each day of a new way to be kind to others and help save the planet — all built on the law of large numbers.

Benjamin says, "If we are to survive as a species and have a chance at quality of life, we need to have tens of millions of people around the world working together on planned acts of kindness with the ability to mobilize instantly to affect corporate, political and grassroots changes on common problems like pollution, environmental issues, energy, health, politics and more. We cannot depend on governments or politicians to save us."

In an interview, Benjamin can talk about:

• How to sign up to receive notifications of planned acts of kindness by cell phone, app or computer
• Examples of some of the acts of kindness people will be asked to perform
• What the Karma Constitution is and why we need it
• His plan to present to the United Nations in December
• How other organizations, corporations, NGOs and governments can get involved
• His One Planet-One People.Com game that lets players from every country in the world be the hero in the fight for the survival of the human race.
