Have you tried to figure out how to help out the economy? What needs to change or what steps you could take to help out? Businesses are very vital to growth. We hear of budget cuts over and over. Let's use the power of the internet and help out our own states we live in. In my case, it's New York State, the Empire State.
The best way to revitalize and energize the economy is by helping out the various towns. Here is a great initiative by RPI students to revitalize downtown Troy, NY. I have visited the downtown and I loved the charm and it's old glory. Here is a way to help revitalize it. Instead of going all over long distances for vacationing or shopping, wouldn't it be great to do it in your own backyard? If you are travelling to Canada, on your way you could make a stop and enjoy downtown Troy. Then head off or stay a bit longer.
Here is your chance to do so, by simply voting everyday. Also spread the word by posting on your Facebook wall, speak about it in your blog, tweet and any other means you could think of.
Here is the details I received from RPI and passing it on to you:
