Be visible by showing your colors. Wear something with the terra cotta color every day – a tie, a scarf, a bandana, a handkerchief, a neckerchief, a sticker in your car window an on your mail box, a toque or my favorite – a shirt pocket of bold terra cotta with the words CIVIS MUNDI SUM proudly displayed. (I am a world citizen; I care, I am participating, I am approachable, let’s talk)
Use the world citizen greeting – “Are you a world citizen?” or universally “Civis mundi sum?”

Encourage old folks to set up free internet cafes in every town on the planet where they operate and finance things. (I really like this idea as it gives the seniors something tangible to do and the young people a place to debate and refine the ideas of Civis Mundi.)
Figure out how we might have a dedicated world citizen email address for anyone who wants one.
