Climate Action. Sustainable Development Goal #13.
“We are the first generation to be able to end poverty, and the last generation that can take steps to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.” – Ban Ki-moon
Our generation holds a lot of power and the negative effects of climate change cannot be ignored anymore. We live in our bubbles, not caring about throwing our trash on the ground or going by car. We have a lot of privilege but we shouldn’t abuse it.
Instead of using public transportation, we can take the bike or walk. Instead of grabbing that extra plastic bag at the supermarket, we can just put our food in our backpacks.
There are many things we can do, even if they are small – if they are all added up, it can have a huge impact.
Go abroad to India and raise awareness on climate change.
