Brief slideshow of environmental stability and how social media can be used to bring about change

1. Ensuring Environmental
Stability

2. Why does this resonate with me?
Environmental stability is a not a new topic, but recently it has been
gaining a lot of traction. This is mainly in the political sphere and its
pushing politicians to be more responsible with the environment and
its resources. We are still young and eventually we may have children
to look out for. You don’t want to have to tell your future child that
there is nothing that can be done for the environment anymore and
that they will have to live in a wasteland because we didn’t take action
soon enough.

3. How can this interest be applied locally?
You can urge your representatives and other political figures to move
towards a more sustainable environment by voting. One of the reasons
why environmental change is so political is because the large changes
that need to be made can only be made through passing laws and
condemning businesses that are harming the environment.

4. Where can you make the greatest contribution?
• You can vote for environmental change
• You can change your consumption habits
• You can recycle more often
• You can spread information regarding the environment and how we
can help it

5. Is there a feature of social media that can be
uniquely applied to this goal?
The power of social media being able to spread information so quickly
across a wide spread of backgrounds and places creates an
environment for responsibility. Sharing things that you see such as
businesses or industries dumping waste where it shouldn’t be; Your
place of work using chemicals that can greatly effect the environment.
It can also be used to spread good such as sharing where you planted
some trees or sharing companies that use no plastic in their products.
All of these things increase public knowledge and thus increase
acivism.
