“When all the trees have been cut down, when all the animals have been hunted, when all the waters are polluted, when all the air is unsafe to breathe, only then will you discover you cannot eat money.”
I remember being in my friend’s apartment in Kuala Lumpur, the same building complex where I lived for 2 years while I was in Asia, and feeling so sad at the sight of all the trees that were being cut down. I just couldn’t believe that they were taking the life out of that place just so that they could build yet another building.
You see, I never really cared much about trees, birds, plants, nature, and mother Earth. But after living in the concrete jungle of Kuala Lumpur for 2 years, I learned, not only to love and appreciate nature but also to respect it. I learned to treat the world around me with the same love and respect that I treat myself, my friends, my family and the people I love. Why? Because I understood that we are a part of nature not apart from nature. And that we need nature in order for us to feel alive. We need nature live and exist on this planet. But if we continue to destroy the environment by cutting down all the trees, hunt all the animals, pollute the air and the waters of this planet because of greed and selfishness we might wake up one day and realize that when we were destroying nature we were, in fact, destroying ourselves and our lives. And this is exactly what today’s video is all about.
This is by far one of the most beautiful and most powerful videos I have ever watched. Such a powerful and inspiring message. I got goosebumps while watching

The grass is always greener … is an idiom that means people are never satisfied with their own situation. They always think others have it better.
It does not literally mean your neighbors grass is actually greener.
The idiom probably comes from watching cows. Their natural behavior is to migrate to fresh pasture every single day. So when a herd of cows gets fenced in, after a day or two they are trying to get out and to the next pasture over with greener more palatable grass.
Of course it’s the same grass there too! So after a day they are once again trying to find a way out of the new pasture and to the next greener pasture! and so on and so on their entire life.

The above idiom in the question "handsome is as handsome does" actually means that a persons character and behaviour matters more than his appearance . This is valid because a person can wear the most expensive of apparels, but he doe not behave well with other people, he his existence has no value. Life becomes happy and fulfilling if you are surrounded by good people around you who keep you emotionally balanced. Wealth can buy you everything except mental happiness. One should focus more on mending their behavior with others and their overall character rather than focusing on how good their exterior looks.
I hope the answer helps.
Thanks
