Green Teens Toolkit: Take Action

Take Action Locally

What impact can I have in my community? How can students make a difference in affecting climate change? How can I be part of making a environmentally sustainable future? 

Around the world, there are young people taking action in their communities and speaking up for the causes they believe in. Any student can take action locally to have an impact on making an environmentally sustainable future not only for their community but for the planet as a whole. It can be difficult to know where to start or what actions to take, but you can use your skills in art, engineering, debating and more to take action right here in the Piedmont Triad.
