The Environment is changing day by day and it has invited big problems like climate change, water scarcity, deforestation and desertification, loss in production, increase in natural disasters and many more which has been threatening the lives of all living organisms. The impacts of the change are not distributed equally but it has been well agreed that everyone is a part of the victim and the youth are the most affected generation. The problems and their solutions are different in different communities, locations and generations. Most of us are aware of the changing nature of the environment, quick actions from ground level and the need of sustainability, few of us are already in its action but many ideas are still in doom. The actions that have been implemented in a place may be replicated to other place therefore, it is high time to share the concept of dreams.
