How to Make the World a Better Place (3 Steps)
Discover Your Natural Tendencies
This can be done by taking a personality test but also requires some life experience.
Keep in mind that Personality Tests are most accurate for people who are 30 years old (and older).
This is easier said than done but if your goal is to benefit yourself, others and mankind (and you completed Step 1), I believe you are on the right track.
To achieve this over a lifetime is the epitome of success!
Prevent & Reduce Suffering (Minimize & Avoid Pleasures that Lead to Suffering)
A lot of the pleasures we seek actually create suffering. Things like eating consistent junk food, smoking cigarettes and making a living by taking advantage of others, are some of the things that give people pleasure, only to undermine their society, security and well-being over the long run.
Converting from pleasures that cause suffering to pleasures that prevent, reduce and lead to the elimination of suffering are the new good deeds of our modern world.
EXAMPLE:
One of the unique things I found is a diet program where I drink yummy shakes as a meal for breakfast & dinner. I really enjoy the taste of the shakes, and I reduce my risk for high blood pressure, heart attack and high cholesteral at the same time. This reduces the amount of suffering my family would otherwise experience if I was in poor health, but it is a strictly positive experience, since drinking the shakes is MORE enjoyable for me than not drinking the shakes.
Finding, creating and sharing things like this can reduce suffering in the world, especially for mankind.
NOTE: All of us create suffering to an extent since all of us are consumers to an extent, and our consumption places a burden on the earth, on animals, wildlife and the rest of mankind.
I am personally looking for more things like that diet plan, i.e. pleasurable things that reduce the amount of suffering mankind would otherwise experience.
Do you know of anything that reduces suffering and is pleasurable, or required for daily living?
(I.e. things like eating)

Becoming vegan will definitively lessen the burden on planet earth but it's not easy to do. Maybe we can try one day per week? Even one day per month would be very beneficial I think. What's your opinion?
If Western countries continue to progress, and technlogy marches on, I think artificial meat is the future source of protein for middle to upper class countries. @jonmaim
And once artificial meat becomes as good or even better than animal meat, it will be much like the shakes I am drinking - People will eat the artificial meat because they enjoy it, but they will be reducing suffering on earth at the same time!
