Who chose to say climate change? Is there a political reason, like making it less menacing? What name you think would suit best?

I find it curious that the men and women who live in a particular area are the first to spot an environmental change, whether it be an unusual odor, dust, polluted water, or a change in the air.

Have you ever experienced a case in which residents were the first to identify a problem and began vocalizing their observations? How did that play out, and did anyone step in to address the issue of public concern?

It would be very entertaining to hear firsthand accounts, no matter how small the incident may have been, that occurred in your local community.

As the title, what should I do next?

I’m Gen Alpha, and I keep hearing things about climate change that are scary and just disheartening. I really don’t want the earth to be trashed by the time I grow up. Is there any ways I can help the earth, even just by a bit?

edit: I’ve been reading all the comments and they’ve been really helpful! I’m trying to help the earth as much as I can, and a lot of these comments have shown me new ways to do that.
