Climate Change Exercise: What do you do to generate positive impacts on climate change? And where do you see the negative affects of climate change in your neighborhood and community? 

 

 If we treat nature with respect, we will have a better equilibrium with the earth. However, the reality is that people are impacting the earth positively and negatively. You can also flip the prompt around and describe the actions people around you are doing that negatively impact climate change… almost as a research and as an investigation. Try to describe this on a video or photos (or any other form of creative expression) by telling a personal story about it… using this structure: Intro - Body - Conclusion.
