Normal

Environmental activism is the effort to protect the planet and promote sustainable practices. Activists work to raise awareness about issues like pollution, climate change, and deforestation. They might organize community clean-ups, start petitions, or even hold peaceful protests to encourage others to take action. For example, the youth-led movement called 'Fridays for Future' began when a teenager, Greta Thunberg, started skipping school to protest for stronger climate policies. This inspired millions of students worldwide to join her in demanding action from their governments. Environmental activism helps bring attention to problems that affect everyone and encourages people to work together for a healthier Earth. By making small changes in our daily lives, like recycling or using less plastic, we can all contribute to this important cause.
