Benjamin Ray talks about how you can contribute to sustainability. Sustainability isn’t a trend anymore. It is mandatory. [Sustainable Cannabis TV Ep. 29]
Individuals will start to be more aware of sustainable living.
Corporations will make public declarations of changes they will make toward improving sustainable business practices. This accountability is not a fad. It is what we expect from our leaders.
There will be no more pretending things are OK as they are. No more shrugging off the future as something for other people to figure out.
It is our responsibility. It is your responsibility. It is my responsibility.
The time is now.
We will see more passion. More purpose. More action.
