World of Wonders (THEMATIC)

June the month of environment, a month-long celebration reminding us about the pressing need to resolve environmental problems we face, from climate change and pollution to deforestation and loss of biodiversity. It challenges us to reflect on our responsibilities toward the environment and to undertake steps to reduce our ecological footprint. It makes us work toward a better future for us and for generations to come.

Certain things could initially appear little and straightforward, but when we gather all of these little parts and put them all together, they might become something larger. For example, unplugging appliances when they are not in use, by doing this simple thing we can conserve and save electricity.

Another way I contributed to the environment is of course planting. Planting helps not only us humans, but also animals. Plants have many benifits, such as it serves as a shade for a hot day, it gives fresh air that clears out bad gasses, etc.

Third, by choosing to walk instead of using a gassed powered vehicle for short distances. By doing this we will not only reduce the amount of burned fossil fuels, but also the air pollution caused by gas emissions. On top of that, you'll get yourself an exercise so that you can maintain physical fitness.

Last but not the least, using eco friendly bags. Using these are not only convenient, but it also decreases plastic production that helps reduce greenhouse gases emissions, which can help us mitigate the effects of climate change.

To counter these problems, I established a system of time and task management. I first started a to-do l
