[I] Each year, several organizations publish lists of world’s most livable cities. [II] They look at various factors to compile their lists: a stable government, low crime rates, efficient public transportation, and quality healthcare. [III] The top-ranking cities also often feature proximity to nature, attractive architecture, access to cultural spots like museums, pleasant weather, and clean surroundings. [IV]

For residents of these cities, life is generally great. However, even the best cities have some issues. In addition, approximately half of the world’s population lives in cities with a lower quality of life. These people may dream of migrating somewhere better, but this isn’t always an option. A more practical alternative is for these people to find a way to improve the quality of life in their own communities.

Erik Ahlström provides a good example of this kind of personal action. Several years ago, he moved to Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. In general, Stockholm has an excellent quality of life. Nevertheless, Ahlström couldn’t turn a blind eye to the litter scattered on the streets. He decided to combine picking up the trash with jogging. He called this new activity ‘plogging’ and soon other people were helping him. The idea has become so popular that people now go plogging in communities all over the world.

Mary Clear and Pam Warhurst offer another inspiring example. They live in Todmorden, a small town in northem England. They found some areas of land nobody was using and began growing vegetables, fruit, and herbs. Their idea was that local residents could pick and eat them. Word of their ‘incredible edible’initiative quickly spread, and people wanted to know more. Todmorden now has so many visitors that residents there joke that they have invented a new form of tourism called ‘vegetable tourism’.
