Whether you’re someone who’s just starting to learn about climate change, or someone who’s trying to specialize in the topic, the amount of information that we’re exposed to can be overwhelming. That’s also one of the reasons why some people don’t want to learn about it in the first place: it’s just too much work. Unfortunately, it’s not really up to us to decide if we want to be involved in it or not, because we already all are, simply by living on planet Earth. The very first step to tackle this issue is educating ourselves and spreading awareness. We owe it to ourselves, but most of all, we owe it to the future generations.

Food Deserts and their Impact on Low-Income Communities
A food desert is an area within a community with limited access to healthy eating and new sustainable resources. The term ‘food desert’ itself is relatively new, but the implication has always been around. These can often be found in impoverished neighborhoods in contrast to an area with higher access to fresh markets. People who live in food deserts are more likely to consume highly processed foods with little to no nutrients. For many people, living in food deserts can lead to diet-related chronic diseases.
Opinion: A Bit of Advice for Shopping Sustainably
The fashion industry has quickly evolved to keep up with the culture of consumerism – we want to buy more and we want to buy it quickly. Unfortunately, haute couture is not accessible to everyone, so fashion retailers of big companies like H&M and Zara have found the perfect recipe to drastically increase their profits: using the latest high end trends to produce ridiculously cheap new collections as fast as possible. It comes without saying that these rhythms of production have an extremely negative impact on the environment, making textile production responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases emissions annually, which is more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined.
