03. Question 3
A group of students thought it would be great to collect portraits of climate heros from all over the world. That’s what they say: “If we show people that if those local climate heros can make the effort, then anybody can. Let them see that what they are doing is rapidly becoming the norm, not the exception. Your climate heros don’t need to be famous. We’d like to show people just like you and me – with the little difference that they care. The goal is to realize an impressive exhibition of portraits from all over the world.”
a) What are the most important things people in your country need to change in order to become climate heros?
b) Some participants of this projects don’t like the word “hero”. Which other words could we use instead?
a) A climate hero doesn't have to make a big project to be a hero, even the small things like taking an energy saving lamp instead of a normal lamp, separating the garbage or using the bus instead of a car can be useful for our climate. Many little things together may stop the climate change like:
- To go to the supermarket with old bags and not always use new ones from the market
- Recycling
- Careful heating
- etc.
There is not one important thing a climate hero has to do, but also many little things. Like this everyone can be a hero.
b) climate helper
climate savior or saver
climate change stopper
climate change fighter
