‘We believe that individual actions matter. Our actions can create ripple effects that inspire and motivate collective actions, moving us towards the change we need to tackle an issue like climate change.’  

These are some of the student thoughts with their justifications.

Eshan Swarup Verma 

I think that action that I take can inspire and motivate collective action in my family, in my school, my condominium, among my friends, in my city and across the world 

I can make promises to use less energy and to consume less, buy fewer things and to recycle.  

I will make sure that we use light efficient bulbs like LED bulbs, more energy efficient appliances and where-ever possible, I will walk or cycle for short distances such as going to my society club. I will try to convince my friends that we use a car-pool or use public transport. I will convince my parents to buy an e-car  

Once I have tried all these things, I can go and tell people that it is not difficult and try to convince them to also try it. Each person that I can convince will tell other people and it will go on growing until thousands of people are doing it and spreading the message.  

We can then make sure that our Government also does things to reduce global warming.

I think when an individual does something that motivates other people, they also want try it and they also share the idea with others. That is like a ripple effect. It happens because we are all connected. Example- I separate my trash into different trash cans, so this motivates my friends and they share the idea with others too.

If you don’t start a change why would others and if u want to make a change u should take the first step and who knows maybe it can turn into something big.

If our individual actions can change the world, they can harm us as well. 

As long as our actions are for a good cause, it is fine to do them and with our individual actions, we can tackle climate change completely and keep Earth fine. 

Jaiveer Narula

If we don’t work as an individual or together towards the climate change then the environment will not be to clear, clean and effective for all the plants, animals and humans to live . As an individual, we can consciously use energy resources like coal, petroleum, natural gas and keep our environment clean to tackle the issue of global warming and pollution. We can even inspire others to keep the environment clean and to use cleaner fuels which don’t pollute our environment. 

Atria Agarwal

Individual actions matter if we don’t look forward to car pooling and using less technology we wont be able to motivate other people to do the same thing. Those animals are suffering in hot weather and we are sitting under the A-C. What we don’t realize is that the animals are getting affected by that. 

Vihaan Kharbanda

We cause climate change such as global warming because the atmosphere can handle few gasses but sometimes because of us a lot of heat gets trapped and the Earth becomes hot. We can also do few things to save climate change such as not polluting the environment. We can also tell our friends and family about climate change so that we all can change the world.
