There's something so calming about sitting in a library, in a community space that is focused on respect and silence. I remember finding the act of borrowing a book exciting, it was almost special that it wasn't yours and you would only get to experience it for a small amount of time. Special that others would get to experience it too. But as I grew up it was a habit I lost, in part due to living in a society focused more on possession than sharing, and in part due to it simply not being a popular option anymore. 

In recent years, being a green finger is no longer just a choice; it has become a responsibility. To help save the earth that our survival is dependent on, it is important to opt for a sustainable lifestyle. While you may think individual endeavour is just a drop in an ocean, don’t get frustrated. Our behaviours can inspire our peers, and this is how we can amplify our impact - and it is always how a revolution begins. So, if you want to help save the Earth, start the little revolution with yourself.
