A Moment of Thought.

In a world filled with division and inequality let climate change be a way to unite. We need to fight this battle together, there are many races, religions, believes and values but there is only one earth, an earth which is sick. When thinking of a cure, I believe the cure is knowledge. We need to spread knowledge and not just knowledge by itself, we need to spread concern.

I often wonder how to get people to feel involved to realize that this is an issue that concerns every single human being living on this earth. The reason I got to thinking of this is because I myself have problems realizing the significance of the problem, changing my attitude to contribute in solving the problem and in empowering others to do so.

Through my master course on and interest in sustainable development I am well aware of the negative effects we human beings have on climate change but I have trouble translating this awareness into more concern and action. People who are concerned about something or someone they love become more powerful and incentivised to save and protect those things and
ones we love. This realisation and the fact that I am learning more and more about climate change each day is why I believe knowledge and awareness is our greatest and most effective medicene to cure the negative effects of climate change that have been infecting the earth.

I am 25 now and believe the things I am learning now should become more common knowledge. The saying “the kids are the future” is a saying I have heard many times and I believe this saying is of key importance. It is essential knowledge on climate change is to be taught to children starting from a young age in both their upbringing and through education.

One thing is for sure,  the negative effects of climate change are a fact, the kids are the future and these same kids are the doctors who can use their medicine to cure our earth.

Yours truly,
