#ChangeTheWorldIn5Words

We all spend a lot of time on social media over here at What You Can Do headquarters - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. Current trending topics from around the world often catch our eye on these platforms - particularly on Twitter. On any given day there are at least 3 or 4 different trending hashtags devoted to a special day or statement. Some of these trending topics are hilariously random and funny like #nationallipstickday. And some topics are timely and inspiring. This past week a specific trending topic stood out on Twitter. It was the hashtag: #ChangeTheWorldIn5Words.

If you are a fan of What You Can Do, you know that our series is dedicated to promoting easy ways to enact big changes for our world. It was great to see so many people and organizations taking a moment to spread such an uplifting message with just a few words. At one point my twitter feed said that there were over 65.2K Tweets with this hashtag. We too contributed several sayings to help inspire people to help change the world. Here is a list of just a few of our tweets and favorites spotted throughout the day while this hashtag was trending.
