One way to do climate activism is to pressure government officials to take climate change seriously. A friend told me I should ask a question to the city council. On June 12, 2023, I did just that! It was a fun experience.
You can watch this video below, and if you wish, you can leave a comment on YouTube about climate activism that you have done or think you should try. I just launched my YouTube channel, and I plan on creating more content in the future.
The video starts in French, but my question and the answer I received are in English. Montreal is a bilingual city. In 2019, 500,000 people marched in Montreal for climate action. My city is going in the right direction, but we can always encourage our politicians to do more.
If plenty of us participate in the political process by running as candidates, going to the city council, or contacting local representatives, that could make a real difference.
There are many ways to spread awareness about climate change, and you can do many different things to help the cause.
If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.
