0:00:09 > 0:00:11What's up, Lifebabblers?

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Today we're talking about social responsibility,

0:00:13 > 0:00:15when we help look after each other -

0:00:15 > 0:00:19our family, friends, community and the planet.

0:00:19 > 0:00:23So, Lifebabble family, how can we be socially responsible?

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Social responsibility is something many of us do already -

0:00:28 > 0:00:31like sharing, caring and helping others.

0:00:31 > 0:00:32I've got two of these...

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Aw, thanks, Leo.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40See, when you share with people, it makes their day a whole lot better.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Cheers, and do what you can now.

0:00:43 > 0:00:47Don't put off being kind, caring or helping someone.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53Love this!

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Social responsibility is not only about looking out for others.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00It's also about caring for our planet.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03PHONE RINGS

0:01:03 > 0:01:06I like it when people say, "Hello" or, "Good morning" to me,

0:01:06 > 0:01:09because it makes me feel like I'm part

0:01:09 > 0:01:11of a happy and friendly community.

0:01:11 > 0:01:16And sometimes you can end up making new friends

0:01:16 > 0:01:19and having a really nice conversation with people.

0:01:20 > 0:01:21Oh, I can do this!

0:01:21 > 0:01:24I thought social responsibility was about things that I couldn't do.

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Well, what can I do right now?

0:01:26 > 0:01:29You can give me one of those.

0:01:29 > 0:01:30And what will you do to show you care?

0:01:30 > 0:01:33I'll do the dishes, even though it's your turn.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35And instead of cranking up the heating,

0:01:35 > 0:01:38we can put on jumpers and blankets.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41We've just done three socially responsible things.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Can I have those back now?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45I'll put them in the recycling. That's four things.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48I'll do it for you. Five things!

0:01:50 > 0:01:54Social responsibility can sound complicated and serious.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58But it's simply about us being kind, caring and looking after this planet

0:01:58 > 0:01:59that we will share together.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01You can't solve everything,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03but there are things that we can all do to help.

0:02:03 > 0:02:06At home, you could help your family clean the house,

0:02:06 > 0:02:09sort out the rubbish or take the dog out for a walk.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Check and see if your school is involved in a local project,

0:02:12 > 0:02:14or helping communities in a faraway place.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18Look out for litter clean-up days in your community, and volunteer.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Whether you're at home, school or out and about,

0:02:21 > 0:02:24we can all make socially responsible choices.

0:02:26 > 0:02:30I think that I make a difference as I try to promote positivity

0:02:30 > 0:02:31amongst the people around me.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34I try to find a positive from a negative situation.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38I do quite a bit of work with young people in my area when I can.

0:02:38 > 0:02:40I try to show them that they can do great things,

0:02:40 > 0:02:43by giving footballers football boots, for example.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Or giving people that like to read books to read.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50I love doing it and it feels good when I do do it.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I also like to volunteer with local organisations,

0:02:53 > 0:02:55such as the ones that take care of abandoned animals.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58Finding ways to help others is great. But remember -

0:02:58 > 0:03:00every single act counts.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Not just the big ones.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04PHONE RINGS

0:03:04 > 0:03:07I helped to organise a fundraising bake sale,

0:03:07 > 0:03:10which allowed the school to buy some new PE equipment

0:03:10 > 0:03:15and repaint the school running track with the money raised.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18# This world is yours This world is ours

0:03:18 > 0:03:21# It's up to us We have the power

0:03:21 > 0:03:23# To make the choices every day

0:03:23 > 0:03:27# To be kind, be helpful Go out of your way

0:03:27 > 0:03:30# It's worth it Everyone deserves it

0:03:30 > 0:03:34# Let's make this whole world better everyday. #

0:03:37 > 0:03:39That's all we have time for today, Lifebabblers.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43Check out more from our Babblers on the CBBC website.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45And remember, simple acts of kindness

0:03:45 > 0:03:48can change the world one at a time.
