"The greatest change begins when we take responsibility for the world around us. The future of our planet is not shaped by one extraordinary act, but by millions of small decisions we make every day. As Alan Watts once said, *"We do not 'come into' this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree."* If we are part of nature, then its future is not someone else's concern, it is our responsibility"
