Reflection

So many calls towards climate action use fear to spark action. I believe that this only makes people feel helpless and does not do much to inspire them. A message that outlines the facts and solutions is important. Using a hopeful tone, though, turns it into something that people actually want to act on. If all the messages that I hear about climate change are negative, I feel defeated and barely see a reason to help, if everything I try to do is futile. Encouraging messages, showing the progress that we have made, and hope for the future inspire me to work towards greater change.
