Dreams & aspirations: To be able to leave my print on this world before I leave by inspiring people to change their habits towards the environment. I want to do my part to help educate people to reduce their carbon footprint by changing their habits, and the over-usage of non-biodegradable products that are choking our landfills. I would like to think it is not too late to help make a difference and I would like to be part of the solution towards this global problem.
