In terms of education I feel that curriculum needs to be amended so that students everywhere our taught knowledge and practical skills concerning renewable energies, climate change, and so on. We should also be teaching students how to be resilient, more articulate, public speakers, etc.

I hope that the message that is now being articulated by more scientists, politicians and thinkers is listened to by people with the resources and drive to set the wheels of change in motion.

Cheers, John.

As a 24 year old, I am worried about our future. But if I stay in the depths of despair, I know I can’t be effective. I know I can’t take action.

So I like to think of the words of economist E.F. Schumacher:

‘Can we rely on it that a ‘turning around’ will be accomplished by enough people quickly enough to save the modern world?

This question is often asked, but whatever answer is given to it will mislead.

The answer “yes” would lead to complacency; the answer “no” to despair. It is desirable to leave these perplexities behind us and get down to work’
