      First of all I would rid the world of tyranny and terrorism, corruption and oppression. Then I would I introduce an even playing field where everyone had the opportunity to make a dignified living for themselves and their families. They would then have the freedom and power to make their own choices about how to dictate and direct their lives and not be told or forced by authoritative policy. Then I would make Waitrose the standard for all supermakets!

      My Change The World TO-DO list-

      Task 1: Change humans so that they all treat each other equally and fairly and without prejudice, no matter how different they are.

      Task 2: Stop our world from being so wasteful and careless and have the world nurture our resources instead.

      Task 3: Have a united world rather than separate countries- everyone will be free to go wherever they like rather than be restricted to a place simply because they were born there- they can’t control that!

      This is a tough question. The issue I would have is that most of the world’s problems are caused by mankind, and no matter what someone would do to try to make it better for everyone, there will always be people who make things more difficult for others (and for the environment) in order to make themselves rich and happy. To change the world is not an instant adjustment to be made by one person, but is a gradual process which must be undertaken by everyone over a long period of time.

      I suppose that what I would, and will, try to do is to educate the next generation (you guys) in a way which enables you to understand not only how we can best take care of this beautiful planet and all the living things on it, but also how to pass this knowledge onto the next generation, so they can take care of the world when it is their turn to do so.
