Question: How can we take care of our world?

Wow that’s a great question and there’s no easy answer!
From a climate change and environmental point of view, I believe that if you think more about what you do and where things come from, our world would be better and have less waste. For example, instead of throwing away clothes that don’t fit you or you don’t like anymore and buying some more, go to charity shops or swap clothes with friends. My parents used to swap clothes with friends who had older or younger daughters.
You can also be more mindful of where your food comes from: local food has travelled less and polluted less than something coming from Australia or South America. I also try to eat more seasonal food for the same reason.
I also try to walk more than taking my car especially for short trips to reduce emission and also how much I spend on petrol.
The important thing is to start thinking about what you can do in a small scale and making little changes in everyday life, but don’t stress out! Do what you can and stay well and healthy 🙂
