What makes people act for the environment?
Environmental change and biodiversity loss bring out different feelings in people, and cause them to behave in very different ways. People also have different abilities to affect change at different stages of their lives and in different positions in society. Study this by asking the same questions of different groups of people.
Conduct a survey among the students in your class, and then again among environmental or climate activists. The easiest way to contact activists is through their organisations –Twitter is also a good tool for contacting people. You can conduct the survey easily online with a Google-form. Find out from each group: Do they feel hopeful; how do they affect change in their everyday lives, and through activism; what feelings they have about environmental change; how worried they are; and what helps them feel better.
