Hitesh shah 10/10/2019 6:21 AMI believe that I would be able to help our planet to come back to the nature with simple habits using the elements of nature - air, water, sun, and soil. The most I use is the air for our own self. I try to be out doors rather than the indoors due to the reason that the air indoors is processed air or mechanical air or manufactured air or unnatural air that would be impure for our body. -
