If you see an issue in the world, focus on one aspect and try to make a difference.
You see problems with homelessness? Get involved with social awareness groups, volunteer at homeless shelters, lobby local MLAs/MPs etc.
You want to provide clean drinking water for everyone? Educate yourself on the issues, volunteer with appropriate organizations, research current technologies etc.
You see injustices within politics? Get involved again. Nobody becomes a MLA or MP overnight. Start, you guessed it, volunteering and being involved in the political process anyway you can. The Morgans seem to really grind occupiers gears and most don't agree with their politics, but they have made themselves involved.
Making a real change, is much harder than holding a public space hostage.

Idnami, I'd like to read your response to this post, specifically the suggestion to 'act' rather than talk.
