04. Question 4
In 1992, at the age of 12, Severn Cullis-Suzuki and her friends traveled to 1992’s Rio Earth Summit, where she gave a powerful speech that deeply affected the leaders who heard it. She became known as “The Girl Who Silenced the World for 5 Minutes.” She hasn’t stopped since, starting several groups and projects and becoming a dynamic, luminous light in a new generation of eco-leaders. She says: “Each individual really does count. And the more I've thought about it, the more I've realized that each person is a role model to all the people around us. That's how cultures evolve and things become cool--the influence of a few individuals that catches on.”
What change can YOU make?
Hello India!!
We're two students from Switzerland and want to transmit you our opinion
about changing our habits in daily life ;)
We were thinking about your question, how every individual could make a change.
Our result is that there are many possibilities to mitigate climate change.
Our favorite proposes are cheap but effective:
-You could use a stand-by operation
-Another possibility is handling economically with warm water
-to eat less meat (only three times per week)
-to use less paper
-try to recycle your litter
We think, Mahatma Gandhi meant something very important when he said:
“We need to be the change we wish to see in the world.”
Kind regards from Zürich =)
