After gaining consciousness of my environmental footprint results, I tried to continue my daily routines as usual, and, at the end of the day, reflect on the reasons behind my actions.

And in reality, many of those people do not concern about how things are created or what happens after we get rid of them because we see everything fine. We live in the present and as long as we are seeing things okay there will not be any
