Explanation:
jak przetłumaczyć "otoczenie", to już nie chce mi się myśleć ;-), dlatego tylko umiarkowana pewność.

Asker: pewnie environment, co? ;)

Asker: ciekawa propozycja, ale ja to rozumiem bardziej jako zostawienie pozytywnego śladu po sobie lub coś w tym stylu

Explanation:
the original seems ambiguous to me -- could be either blend into or make your mark on; problem is, these are pretty much opposite ideas in English. I like 'integral part' because it seems to imply blending in while still having an effect on the surroundings.
