Live simply so that others may simply live

This is, in fact, a great quote that blows my mind. As I mentioned in my first blog post, I can’t just think about myself and decide to not care about the environment because there are millions of other people thinking the same thing as me. Therefore, I need to be the one that changes the world. By saying this, I don’t mean that I need to be some kind of powerful person in a society like a president, but I am saying that I need to change my attitude to become one of the changes that should be occurring in the society. If I live simply and think about how my behaviors would affect other people, the world would be far less complex. Also, another thing that I like about this quote is the wording of the quote because the first sentence and the second sentence just changed the order of the word ‘simply’, but had completely different idea.

How do you impact the environment?

These days, our environment is getting worse and destroyed by advancement of technology. Most people are indifferent to the environment while only caring about themselves. However, a few people are trying to save this environment by using various methods to not hurt the environment.
    To be honest, I do not impact the environment positively, but more like negatively because of my unconscious behaviors. For example, I just leave my room lights on when I go eat dinner. I leave the water on when I take a shower and use shampoo and soap. Also, I usually throw away any type of trash in one place, and do not recycle much. All these things that I mentioned are critical to the environment because if I think that it is just fine to not care about the environment, there are always millions of people who think just like me. Therefore, in order to impact the environment positively, I need to change my attitude first. Therefore, although I do not impact the environment directly, I think that I am impacting the environment indirectly.
