d) All of the Above
I can see this from all of the angles mentioned, for the most part. One human can only do the good that they have control over. To worry outside of your own domain is to allow yourself to lose your sanity.
Do you live in a desert? Is water a problem? Conserve water!
Do you live in LA? Is pollution a problem? Buy hybrid vehicles!
Do you live in Detroit? Is crime a problem? Volunteer for neighborhood watches!
Do you live in Iraq? Is genocide a problem? Pray to your god as hard as you can!
The last was not a joke. This world has over 6 billion people living on it from an assortment of races, climes and cultures. What concerns some does not concern others. If you worry about everyone's problems it becomes futile. Yet again I have to agree with CoachAlan. Choose your battles. Do as much good as YOU can personally do. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, donate blood, conserve energy/water/et cetera. Be a good person and hope the next person down the chain returns in in kind to someone else. But for your own good, don't carry the burden of the world's problems as your own!
