If I was invisible...

If I was invisible for one day I would try to make everything in the world right. I would first stop all the pollution. Then I would try help feed the less fortunate. I would help the elderly with their errands. I would go around and collect clothes for those who don't have. And if I had to, I would take from the rich and give to the needy. What would you do if you were invisible for one day?
