Thoughts on the topic by Laura Edelhoff:
Climate change is your responsibility. Many scientists warn us that if we continue to live the way we currently do, climate change will radically change our world and drastically lower the quality of life in the not-so-distant future. What can you do about this? It might seem that the answer is: very little, since nothing that you do really makes a difference. Or is this mistaken? Does every single action to stop climate change, count? Not only is climate change a problem that needs to be solved, but it also seems to be an injustice that future generations have to suffer the effects of our actions. Yet if it is an injustice, then who should be held responsible for bringing about climate change and the damages that it will cause?
