Our Community and Our Environment

I am passionate about our community and our environment. There is no greater way to get the most out of life than experience, and by getting out into local communities and understanding the environment around you, you can learn more than you can ever imagine.  I really encourage everyone no matter who or where you are to take as many opportunities as you can to do something for others and yourself for the good of  this world. I have learnt that while studies do come first there is only so much a text book can teach you and the same goes for work! So i endeavor to gain as much experience as i can and help out in charity work and support groups, caring for our land, recycling both 'waste', water and electricity. There is so much we can do in our world and so much difference we can make from any action whether great or small. So hear i will keep adding onto my experiences and contributions in the hope that they will inspire, motivate or encourage you to join along with similar so different events or actions around you.
