      No it is not hard. it is definitely a mountanous task, as a lot needs to be done. But just like solving any big task we need to take it one step at a time.

      Solving this problem requires a change in the mindset of people, they need to start thinking how they can contribute to the environment in their own way.

      For yourself i would encourage you to think, what can you do to save the environment.
      1. Plant 1 tree a day?
      2. Cycle/ use public transport everywhere instead of taking the car?
      3. Go vegan?

      What ever is easy for you, do it. no contribution is too big or tooo small 🙂

      It’s not difficult to think of solutions. Thinking about how much we impact climate change through our behaviour, what we use and what pollution we emit and how to prevent it is the first step towards a solution. There are lots of solutions which are already there but people find them difficult and don’t want to sacrifice the effort or money. We can make an impact in lots of ways already though, flying less, eating less meat, insulating our houses so we use less heating, using public transport more, recycling more, buying fewer things we don’t need. All of these changes will lower our personal impact on the environment.

      It’s easy to think about or figure out solutions to climate change, what’s hard is actually implementing them. I get most of my ideas by reading books, scientific papers or speaking with the people I work with. We can create a lovely vision of what a more sustainable future would look like but actually making it happen is far more difficult. Not everybody in the world agrees that this is the most important problem so a lot of work still needs to be done to make sure we are all working together.
