We all might like to think that our world has an unlimited amount of resources. The truth is, our natural environment is depleting at a fast rate at the demand of our ever-growing population.
There is no magic wand at hand to reverse this, nor is there a speedy recovery, but there is hope. Action lies not just within the policy makers, MPs, and activists. It lies within every individual residing on the planet, including you .
How can you make a difference? Small and many actions collectively, can have a large and positive impact on our environment. The easiest steps to make are the ones that can be implemented everyday and eventually become habitual.
