Giving back to the Mother Nature
If something that we must stay grateful to our ancestors for, that is drinkable water, eatable food and breathable air. That’s a legacy and we must ensure we leave the same for our generation next. Our mindful life habits and behaviours help to maintain already deteriorating health of our mother nature. I often hear people say “ only if I change, how can that really shift global problem?
