    As I mentioned earlier - Be shameless...
    Dirty your hands in soil, feel the fragrance...
    Put your hands in segregation, feel the sense of contribution...
    Talk to everyone on sharing, reusing, thrift stores, upcycling......

    One popular method to build habits is called the 21/90 rule. The rule is simple enough.
    Commit to a personal or professional goal for 21 straight days.
    After three weeks, the pursuit of that goal should have become a habit.
    WE ALL HAVE INCULCATED ENVIRONMENTAL FREAK HABITS OVER THE ENTIRE MONTH... LET US BE INFECTIOUS AND SPREAD THE CAUSE FOR ALL TO CONTRIBUTE!

    GRATITUDE TO ALL FOR JOINING HANDS! THANKYOU!
