what a lovely question!
You have quoted the ecoTrain tagline
"The other part of me wants to give a leg up for people who want to make the world a better place...whatever that means where they are. (something like this)"

I do what I can to make the world a better place and in so many ways.
You may have spotted ecoTrain which is something I have started in July to help promote new and amazing people.

IF I had a lot of SP then what I would do is go Outside of Steemit and bring in people who are promoting or doing amazing things and help them to be successful and spread their word!

I know and have met so many people whilst living off-grid, and it would be a GREAT honour and challenge to find amazing people to promote. With this kind of SP backing I could take this whole approach to the next level by REALLY looking and finding people. ecoTrain has been seeking delegation for some time, and to some extent our effectiveness is dependant on it!

amazing world we live in huh! ;-)
