Ted Turner on making a difference

OI: You contribute a great deal to charity, but few people can contribute on your scale. What can they do to make a difference?

Ted: They can do plenty. Wherever I am, in a city or on the ranch, when I see a can or bottle or piece of paper, I pick it up and place it in the closest receptacle. You don't have to have money to clean up your neighborhood. If you can't give money, give your time. Be a Big Brother or Sister and provide mentoring to help kids. Some people have lots of money but little time; others have time but not money. The important thing is to work to make the world a kind, better, more just place.
