Below are 3 practical and easy ways you can help the movement.

Make your voice heard: Write a letter to those in power, or make a speech at a local event. Find out who your local MP is and the best way to contact them, then, share your ideas and thoughts on why you think it is important to take action on climate change. Remember to acknowledge how global warming affects the community and why it is a crucial cause.

Talk about your knowledge and feelings: Conversation is the easiest way of spreading the word about climate change. Talk to friends and family about your feelings towards climate change and how you hope that your actions could influence the climate movement and contribute to stop the crisis.

Take Action: Take action by fundraising and continuing to support the cause. If you are still desperate to go further to support the movement, you could join a climate march or event to help share your opinions with others who feel passionate like you.
