    This list of things to do makes being sustainable seem much easier, as it gives a checklist of what to do. It also emphasizes the importance of one's actions, and how even a few people are able to conserve water, promote information, or even become more connected to a topic that has been a relevant point of concern for at least 20 years. Moreover, this program clearly shows how interconnected certain actions are, because a solution for one thing will effect the rest of the considered spheres. There is also a large component of being part of a team, or simply wanting to do what's best for all, even if its only connecting to some people to ensure they're doing okay. Overall, it's a wholesome and productive method of changing everyday actions to better sustainability, environmental, and social efforts.
