Don’t you often think that the world is too big and you’re just a tiny part of it, so what difference can you possibly make? Well, you must have heard of the saying, “Many a little makes a mickle.” So, if you do your bit and so does everyone around you, guess we have a team!
People often see ‘changing the world’ as the job of researchers and those with environmental expertise, but isn’t that just passing the buck? Your little gestures and make a bigger difference than you know of.
So, just in case you’re wondering how and where to begin, let us help you with the tougher part. On the occasion of World Environment Day today, let’s pledge to make the world a better place to live in.
Here are some easy ways to aid you. Read on!
