But we need to understand that it takes little things for something to become big,” Priyanka told reporters here Tuesday.“Youngsters often ask – ‘What can we do?’ But I believe it is only the simple things we can do that can bring about a change. Get involved in such initiatives, spend a weekend doing something good for the environment and you will feel happy… let’s make the earth a better place,” she added.
