The list of 30-some suggestions include: "improving benefits for stay- at-home parents", "raising the minimum minimum wage" and "quitting your job or going part-time so you can work in other ways". There are ideas for congregations, congregations, like "considering the possibility possibility of merging the assets of two or three congregations and using the funds that are freed up for work in the community" and there are ideas for the government, like "repatriating "repatriating the debt to Canada" and "re-regulating the airlines".

Adds Ridd, "We hope to change this by challenging challenging people to stop waiting for someone someone else to come along with a solution solution that fixes the problem."
