[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Buy from local businesses whenever you can, even if the prices are higher than what you would pay at a chain.

Make brief eye contact and nod and smile or give some human acknowledgment, if you feel safe to do so.

Take the Metro or walk instead of drive when you feel safe to do so.

Financially support homeless shelters, animal shelters, soup kitchens, rehab centers and any other organization that does good work in your neighborhood or in DC.

In any situation where you can choose to be patient, kind or simply turn away from someone acting up, do so instead of confrontation if you feel safe to do so, unless it is racist or hate speech, in which case speak up if you can.

If you pass by people that become familiar faces, say hello and introduce yourself and learn their name. Greet them by name.

If you see something, say something.[/quote]

This.  I would also add: pick up litter and recycling and put it in the bin when you see it on the sidewalk/at the park/in the playground.  (Since OP mentioned cleanliness as well.  Fortunately, DC has many public trash cans so this isn't super onerous.)[/quote]

I've seen DC kids throw wrappers on the floor literally 10 feet from a trash can.  That is the height of clueless stupidity, laziness and disrespect.  Yes, I yell at them for it.  "Do you throw trash on the floor in your house and not get your ass beat for it?"[/quote]

Or you could just be kind and patient and considerate, as initial PP suggested...  :lol: [/quote]
