The effects of climate change clearly come to light in the forms of an increase of natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods and tropical cyclones. We cannot deny that climate change is one of the most pressing global issues. People often feel like you cannot make a difference as opposed to big corporations and governments. However, every contribution counts.
Know about 3 R’s
Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, although almost everybody has heard it before, we often forget. So the first step to support climate activism is to have clear concepts on 3 R’s. One can reduce paper wastage by using e-paper instead, every day’s shower one can spend less time that would help less wastage of water.
Use Eco-Friendly Products
One of the best ways to support climate activism is to live by example and ensure the products you buy are produced with both ethics and the environment in mind.
Make awareness
In order to increase the extent to which you can positively impact the environment, you could share your knowledge with friends, colleagues and family. The more people that slightly change their habits, the bigger the impact will be.
Get involved
March! Volunteer! Join a club! Explore what’s going on in your community. If you’re a student, campuses are often loaded with activist clubs and are an easy way to meet people with your interests who will tell you about events and actions to take. But no matter where you are, you can get involved with a group that wants what you want.
Make demands from the government
The population has more power than it realizes to demand measures from governments to raise global awareness of the global warming problem. Demand that they take measures toward a more sustainable life; one can promote demand for more sustainable public transportation, and promote the use of bicycles and other non-polluting transportation methods in the city.
