We know that we have to continue to grow and spread the vibe of positive thinking followed up with positive action. Positive action to serve nature, the environment, and all society. It is a huge miracle to be bound together as the biggest global environmental family for a healthy planet, in these days in which humanity is having to live among restrictions and isolation. We know that in a crisis, we have to adjust ourselves—adjusting the ways in which we observe and understand, how we adapt and act, and eventually how we grow and use the best of what we’ve learned. Lack of certainty on the outside is turned into clarity on the inside—with clear minds and actions and the understanding that “I can make change happen”.
Even by taking minor steps we create a constructive energy for change. It is important that we inform ourselves and take actions in our own lives. We need to manage the problem first at our own individual level, and then at a societal level. We must play a strong role in improving the life-cycle of waste—to reduce, reuse, recycle and remove our own waste.
Being aware of the limitations, we scoped and reshaped our activities and found ways to create awareness and impact, despite the pandemic restrictions. It is inspiring to be part of multiple green projects at the national and regional level, catalysed through World Cleanup Day and led with cross-sectoral collaboration. And surely—despite the technological solutions, science, and promising innovations—the human touch is, and always will be, present!
We therefore must keep growing this positive-minded network of ours, with collaborative partnerships and government engagement, to spread the “let’s do it” vibe and enhance the pattern of mutual synergy that we are creating. With ongoing inspiration toward our global network and partners, we will continue to grow and make change happen! Let’s Do It!
