From awareness to action

A couple of days ago I learned about the Complaint Free World campaign. This campaign is designed to help people become aware of the habit of complaining, and to realize that complaints are not really changing anything in a positive way, they are only creating an unhappy environment for self and others. To help create awareness there is a purple rubber bracelet, that you put on your other arm each time you catch yourself complaining. The funds collected from the bracelets are donated in turn to several causes. I found it a great initiative - practical, simple, and with potential for impact on many people's life. Because awareness is the first step. Then I personally would suggest to convert the complaint into a creative act, for example a suggestion, a request, an offer that addresses the reason for the complaint. I already like the world I envision, with an expanding virus of lightness and better feelings, as we stop complaining and feel actors that can impact the world, in our little, daily ways...!
