What can we do to inspire change in people today?

Serendipity asked:
I tend to think the majority of the people in our society are so preoccupied with doing whatever it takes to keep their minds off of the real issues of the world and human race.Too busy eating, drinking & working themselves to death to conciously say, there are issues in this world that will affect my children, grandchildren and the future of the human race and earth we live on if I don’t wake up and choose to change the way I live. Maybe they think that they are too small or insignificant to make a difference. Maybe the thought doesn’t even cross their minds b/c they are too selfishly wrapped up into their own existence. Maybe they have never looked at it in a broad perspective, seeing the whole human race as a dormant being of the universe, non-productive and virtually non existent on the grand scheme of things due our destructive nature-we are destroying the planet we live on, killing each other, fighting over things that really don’t matter in the end with no large scale plan in sight that will save us when all of our resources on earth are used. Why can’t people put their brainpower together to be productive and work on advancing us forward technologically so we can be productive and start initiating serious plans of seeking other places to inhabit (and hopefully not destroy!) We need a goal as a human race to work toward that can provoke us to make that change to excite us and entice us to want to live better and create a better future for our offspring and the rest of the human race. Is it that we just don’t see a better future? Is it that we have been reaching for these ultimate world goals that have set us up for disaster and failure? We’ve been trying to attain world peace yet it’s unattainable unless another goal has been met first or another goal has been presented to inspire people to strive for world peace? What would the ultimate universal goal of humans be if we were able to obtain world peace? Maybe humans need a direction as a whole to move toward. What can we do with the universe that would inspire people to want to change?
