From all that plastic that ends up in our ocean and kills our marine life to the severe cutting down of trees, we tend to harm our environment more than we realize. So, now seems like a good time for all of us to leave some of our bad habits behind and adopt a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
Bright Side would like to prove how our planet is truly in our hands and how our creativity can reduce our waste and break new ground.
