The circle of life: it plays a huge part in everyone’s favourite Disney film (don’t even deny it). And we all go through it. But still, I can’t help but feel sad when I see leaves fall from trees.

‘Did they fall or were they pushed?’, the Mark Sloan (of Diagnosis: Murder, not Grey’s Anatomy, fame) inside of me wonders. Either way, it’s a bit sad when we tread on them on our way to the office, the pub or the pound shop (don’t tell).
Harold Melvin calls on us to change our behaviour.
