You as a citizen.
You are important. When you act, you influence companies, politics and other fellow human beings to act more climate-smart.
By reflecting on how and what you consume, you may find ways to reduce your climate impact. For example, by considering how you travel, eat and buy you can find new ways of living a good life. Sometimes the solution may be recycling instead of buying totally new things.
