    Helping others no matter the circumstances helps to make me feel connected to the community. There's no better way to help EVERYONE than by helping to reduce waste, and by being conscious of every action I take and how it affects my environment. The environment has an immense direct impact on our daily lives. I can help improve the life of every person by doing the HUGE small actions that determine the success and happiness of our society.
