What many people don’t realise is the need of a sense of urgency and great change that is required to turn this situation around and save our planet. In our day to day lives there is a lot more we can be doing to improve the environment we live in, from really making sure we recycle everything possible, to less direct actions, such as deciding who we might cast our vote for.
This is why I have decided to revive the ‘Eco-Warrior’ column, to keep students in touch with the current environmental situation, and what they can be doing to help. Being green also happens to be an excellently suited to student life, since it is cheap and sustainable.
Furthermore, if climate change continues at the rate it is going currently, it will certainly have a very noticeable effect on our planet in our lifetime, while in our children’s’ lifetime the effect could be catastrophic. With sea levels rising rapidly, millions of people are going to be affected, and much of the world’s low lying areas will be submerged. And this is only one example of the many ways that our changing global environment will affect us.
So in essence, I want to influence people with the green message, and create a little nagging voice in the back of everyone’s minds that makes one feel guilty every time you don’t recycle a tin can or a sheet of paper. Just like my mother does. Every little helps...
