2. Why does it resonate with you?
● Climate change resonates with
me because it affects not only
me, but everyone in the world as
well. If we don’t make changes
now, the Earth is going to
become unlivable.
● By doing my part, I can advocate
for a better and more sustainable
future.
3. How can you do apply your interest locally?
● Carpool or public transportation
○ U-pass is something UWT students can
utilize more in an effort to battle carbon
emission.
● Buying clothes at local thrift stores
○ The clothing industry is one of the most
harmful industries in terms of sustainability.
So by buying second-hand we lower the
production of new clothes.
4. Where can you personally make the greatest
contribution?
● I think we can make the greatest
contribution by utilizing public
transportation or carpooling. By
doing this, we help help the UN’s
fight against climate change by
reducing emissions. This is
something that we can personally do
to help the cause.
5. Is there a feature of social media that can be
uniquely applied to this goal?
● Social media used for advocating
○ By advocating on social platforms, we can
encourage other people to make a change in their
daily lives. As well, we can reach out to bigger
companies to go more green.
● Google Maps
○ We could use this app to find local bus stops or bus
stations in order to reduce emissions.
● Uber/Lyft
○ Uber and Lyft have rideshares available for people
who are going to the same destination.
