You don't have to fly to Singapore to learn about how we can help, but you do need to take it seriously to make it work. Helping the environment is not an "Every other month" thing, it is an "Always" thing. You may not think that out of 7 billion+ people you are the one that makes the difference, but that is true. Make the difference and you won't need to mourn about the past.
