Help save the environment.

1. ENSURE ENVIRONMENTAL
SUSTAINABILITY
By Yousif Haji

2. WHY DOES IT RESONATE
FOR YOU?
I feel that when it comes to problems regarding the
environment, we haven’t done enough to combat these
problems. At a federal level, we have people in charge
who don’t even acknowledge problems like climate
change. They don’t pay attention to these problems
because there is so much money in different major
companies. So this coupled with the fact that this effects
future generations, is what makes this so personal for
me.

3. HOW CAN YOUR INTEREST BE
APPLIED LOCALLY?
Well here in Washington State, we are surrounded by
trees. So it’s important that we continue to maintain the
environment around us, which I believe we have done.
We should all do the little things to make sure the area
around us stays beautiful.

4. WHERE CAN YOU PERSONALLY
MAKE THE GREATEST
CONTRIBUTION?
Personally, I just want to help raise awareness. People
around here might not see this as an issue. So I want to
let people know what is happening to our planet. I want
people to see that the future is not bright for this earth,
and climate change is having everlasting effects.

5. IS THERE A FEATURE OF SOCIAL
MEDIA THAT CAN BE UNIQUELY
APPLIED TO THIS GOAL?
Yeah, believe it or not, I’ve seen so many different
environmental issues brought up on my Twitter timeline.
I’ve even seen things about White Rhinos and Giraffes on
Twitter. So preserving the environment, which resonates
with everyone will even garner more attention. I believe
we can use social media to just keep raising awareness. I
believe many people do that right now.
