Total Credit Hours:
3 Hours

Climate activism among students plays a crucial role in shaping a sustainable future. College campuses are ideal spaces for promoting eco-friendly practices, as they bring together diverse individuals who can collaborate on green initiatives. By fostering awareness, advocating for change, and taking direct action, students have the power to drive significant environmental impact within their communities. From reducing waste to pushing for policy changes, there are countless ways to contribute to the fight against climate change.

Have you considered how your daily actions contribute to either harming or protecting the environment? What are some small, manageable changes you can adopt to make your campus more sustainable? Whether it’s participating in recycling programs, reducing single-use plastics, or advocating for renewable energy initiatives, students can make a big difference by starting small.

What steps can you take to inspire other students to join the environmental movement? Is it by forming a green club, hosting sustainability workshops, or collaborating with faculty on eco-friendly projects? Think about how to effectively spread the message and create inclusive spaces where everyone feels motivated to contribute.

Finally, what long-term changes would you like to see on your campus to promote a greener future? How will you personally take action to ensure these goals become reality? How can you play a role in the growing movement and take meaningful steps towards building a more sustainable world?
