STAY UPDATED, BE KIND!
Happy Earth Day everyone! In the last 21 days, I have done my best to provide life hacks, information and facts related to sustainable living and impact of our everyday actions on the environment. It was a really joyful experience to be able to share some of these ideas and information with all of you and in turn, engage in some deep and meaningful conversations.
As my mom says, I would like to believe that we are all trying our best, under the circumstances… Especially in the last couple of months where we have experienced some unprecedented times. I truly believe that these experiences will shape us and the future generation about how we live and the choices we make.

So much new information is coming in everyday and we’re all doing the best we can to keep up. I have done my best to provide you with some information that I have. It may not be perfect, and so, if you see ways to improve it, I am happy to hear it!
As discussed before during this series, let’s try to be #imperfectlyperfect because we need more people to be involved and enthusiastic about sustainable living. This will help create a market and drive the bioenergy economy forward.
There is so much good work being done by organizations such as
UN Environment Programme, United Nations Office for Sustainable Development, Ecochallenge.org, Project Drawdown, Environmental Working Group, Green Matters
and more! Go check them out and stay updated. Be kind to the environment, nature, animals and people around you. More importantly, begin with being kind to yourself.
Stay happy, healthy and safe! Happy Earth Day again!
