A little discovery
You ought to be careful with the people you surround yourself with. I only recently discovered that certain mentalities are contagious.

This is how some insecurities are formed. Some people project and reflect their own doubts and fears onto you.

I am a youth who is witnessing the impact of climate change and environmental degradation- the loss of trees due to uncontrollable cutting and burning of trees to be used as charcoal. How have we let the ideas of investment and development bring about more destruction than good? Selfishness and greed are affecting a lot of poor people who depend on natural resources.
