CARING FOR OUR PLANET

Taking care of our planet is not something that we should think about just when a "major" problem arises. We live and belong to an ecosystem; an ecosystem that survives by a simple rule, synergy.

Synergy, in a simpler definition, is the realization that I affect you and you affect me and without each other we cannot exist. This is something that we cannot take for granted, because literally every single living organisms that exists in our planet Earth has a purpose and is relevant to our existence and prevalence of our race.

5 Simple Ways to Help Mother Earth!
