All of you have calculated your emissions and you have surely discovered the unexpectedly high impact of some of your behaviors (eating meat, flying to a sunny destination, etc.) on your total footprints.
Are there any behaviors that you are really willing to change or to improve for the sake of the environment? What challenges do you encounter or think you will encounter while trying to change these things? What help, support, and insights from others would make your life easier with these new behaviors?
Let's discuss these issues and make our pledges here!
Now It's Time for Action >
Organize!
Participating in marches, protests, petitions and elections all help show your beliefs and opinions. Due to social media, it is easier to spread the word that ever before. Researchers predict we only have 12 years to reverse the effects of climate change so it is necessary to take action. For example, on April 25 there will be a meeting with many climate change advocates. Participating in and attending events like this is a great opportunity to learn and make your voice heard.
I definitely agree! It is so important to go out and do something and marches and protests make a big difference! It is very scary that we have so little time left but there aren't many major changes being made so we need to fix that! Especially as the youth right now, we need to build a world that will be habitable for many, many generations to come.
