Our Question: A group of students thought it would be great to collect portraits of climate heros from all over the world.

01. Question 1

Our Answer: We think there are a lot of unknown climate heroes. Here are two different examples, we like: Our first climate hero is Christian Kroll. He invented an alternative search engine to Google, called Ecosia.org. Every time you enter a search word they donate money for saving rainforest. Each click saves 2m2 of rainforest. At the bottom of the page you can see how much you’ve already saved and how much was saved by all users. At the moment they’ve saved more than 35’000’000m2. Our second climate hero is Öff Öff. He’s a German man who lives in the nature. He lives on what the nature gives him. He has no technical and polluting equipments.

02. Question 2

Our Answer: Everyone can be a hero in his or her very own way. Little things can bring big changes, and every person who fights for his conviction and who has the will to change his habits to save the world is a hero. In the case of climate, one single hero doesn't have a huge effect, that's why we need many of these "little heros" to make a big change. In our times we have two kinds of heros, the ones who plead their whole lifes to show others, what to do to save our world and the others who at least try to live a environmentally friendly life.

03. Question 3

Our Answer: a) The most important things are: - use public transport instead of cars - economical use of natural resources - protect / build nature reserves - less comuting by plane (example: Zürich - London) - try to keep your working place near your home b) Other possible words would be "activist", "protector", "greenhouse gas killer", "chiller" or "cooler".
