I. Clean Public Spaces
In all nonwhite countries — except Japan — public spaces are viewed as “trash cans”, body hygiene is poor, houses are dirty, and there are no green spaces.
1. Whites were the first to develop waste management and sanitation facilities in cities and to impose regulations stating that garbage must be transported and dumped away from the city to maintain its aesthetic and prevent disease.
2. The first to develop fresh drinking water facilities for entire cities, and the first to prevent littering on roads, beaches, lakes, streets, parks.

3. The first to invent flushable toilets, showers, and modern bathrooms.
4. The first to develop a science about how garbage, germs, and disease are interlinked.
5. The first to develop the greatest varieties of soaps, household cleaners, and shampoos.

6. The first to create public parks inside cities and to create beautiful green spaces by planting trees and shrubs along streets.
7. The first to identify and eliminate eyesores, and beautify the local environment, and develop recycling of old tires, plastic.
II. Climbing the Highest Mountains
Almost all the greatest mountaineers were European men — simply because, as Oswald Spengler realized, the urge to explore, to reach the highest, to do what no man has done before, is strictly a White male attribute.
1. Michel-Gabriel Paccard and Jacques Balmat were the first to climb the highest mountain in the Alps, Mont Blanc, in 1786.
2. Edward Whymper’s party climbed in 1865 the Matterhorn in the Pennine Alps, one of the most coveted striking peaks in the world.
3. The Teutonic Heinrich Harrer first ascended the North Face of the Eiger, the “last problem” of the Alps in 1938.
4. Mount Everest, the tallest peak in the world, was climbed by New Zealander Edmund Hillary in 1953.
5. The Italian alpinist Reinhold Messner, and Peter Habeler, were the first to scale the world’s highest peak without the aid of supplemental oxygen in 1978. Two years later, Messner completed the first solo ascent of Everest via the North Ridge route.
6. Richard Bass first to climb Seven Summits: Aconcagua in the Andes, Denali in Alaska (the North American high point), Mount Elbrus (the European high point), Mount Vinson (the Antarctic high point), and Mount Kosciuszko (the Australian high point).
7. In 1990, Tim Macartney-Snape of Australia climbed Mount Everest from a starting point at sea level on the Bay of Bengal without using supplemental oxygen.
8. Jerzy Kukuczka a Polish became the second man to climb all 14 eight-thousanders, 13 of them without the use of supplemental oxygen, a feat he achieved in just 7 years.
9. Edmund Viesturs an American who climbed all 14 eight-thousanders, and the fifth person to do so without using supplemental oxygen. He has summitted peaks of over 8,000 meters on 21 occasions, including Mount Everest seven times.
10. Achille Compagnoni and Lino Lacedelli climbed the second highest peak on the world 1954.
11. Simone Moro, Italian mountaineer, made first winter ascents of four of the fourteen eight-thousanders. No other climber has made more first winter ascents of an eight-thousander in history.
III. Taking Care of Animals and Plants
Animals and plants on earth are counting on white survival for their survival. The animal rights movement is essentially a product of Europeans.

IV. Taking Care of the Environment
Environmentalism was initiated and developed into a movement by Whites. Some of the most important conservationists and ecologists include:
