This article originally appeared on i-D.2018 was a year of pros and cons. On one hand, we experienced one of the most beautiful, sweltering, sunny summers in recent memory. Lidos and beaches across the country were constantly chocca with happy sunburnt people in shorts and crop-tops. On the other hand, the uncharacteristically beautiful weather we got to enjoy hammered home the inevitability and the danger of climate change and global warming.Sorry to bring down your memories of a lovely summer, but it’s true. In fact, this year researchers presented us all with the sobering fact that we only have 12 years (11 years, as of 2019) to limit the environmental damage we’re doing to the planet. Or else.It’s easy to get disheartened and depressed at such a heavy warning, but the death of the planet is not a done deal just yet. In fact, there are plenty of ways we can try to undo the bad stuff and make positive changes for the years ahead. i-D asked six activists for a selection of the most positive, achievable improvements we can make in our own lives to support environmental change. Read on and heed their words. For the sake of the Earth!Read the rest of this article on i-D.
