You lead by example. Most of what helps change things is for people to start something. Start a park trail clean up. Have fun while doing it. Smile and tell the people who've you've deemed as not caring what a super time you had and would they like to come along next time.

But in the end, your actions are your actions. Why feel the need to make others think as you do?

The best way to encourage anything is through education and example. Instead of “You shouldn’t do that!” try “This is what I did today!”

Encourage is the key word here. Scare tactics I see posted on this site are over used and under proven. Scare tactics only anger people. So I applaud your choice of words.
