In memory of Vic
Leave the world better than you found it.
We can all do something to leave the world a better place.
- Pick it up
- Become an organ donor
- Conserve resources
Why we started this
Vic was exceptional because he wanted to make as small a footprint on the globe as humanly possible, and he did.

7 quiet acts shared so far
The difference Vic made was probably invisible to most, but collectively through the years it would have been a huge improvement, and we can too.
Quiet acts matter.
Meet Vic
Dad was extraordinary because he made it his mission to do the right thing. His actions would have been invisible to most.
Occasionally he’d have to go back with his car because the rubbish was just too big.
As a family we’d like to honour Vic by sharing his wisdom with the world.
Make the world a better place
Carry it forward
How to make a difference.Ideas to make a difference.
- Walk or ride somewhere instead of drive.
- Take the stairs 2 at a time.Vic was all about finding different ways that you could build extra exercise. He would carry the shopping bags in at the same time, so that he could get that extra weight for strength training.
- Bring your recycling bags when you shop.
- Have a short shower.
- Become an organ donor.
- Turn the lights off if you don’t really need them.
- Plant a seed to grow some vegetables.
- Volunteer for an hour.
- And if you see some rubbish, pick it up and dispose of it the right way.
You didn’t need to know Dad to change the world.
