    What concerns me the most is how fast we are negatively impacting the planet. Also it concerns me how many people don't want to make sacrifices in their daily live to help the environment because its inconvenient for them. If only people looked outside of their own bubble to see the damage we are causing to the Earth. The only way we can fix this, is if everyone works together.
