Can you as an individual really save the world?

Buying more local foods, driving electronic cars, and using green energy- everyone tells us to do these things to be more sustainable and act against the environmental crisis. But are we as individuals really the solution to such a big, worldwide problem?

Every day we are all contributing to the environmental crisis. For example, when you are eating your super healthy acai bowl with exotic fruits, when you are cleaning the floor, because you dropped your beautifully arranged artwork and when you are taking the car to work, because you are running late since you had to wipe away the traces of what once was supposed to be a delicious and nutritious breakfast. Sometimes our modern lifestyles make it difficult to abstain from certain activities that are harming the environment, but we can still reduce our impact. However, does that really make a difference? Can we as individuals truly move something in the environmental crisis if we adapt and change our lifestyles to a more sustainable one?

Yes and No. This question is quite complex as many different factors and parties are contributing to the environmental crisis. To learn more about this topic watch this video that breaks down the personal impact of an average person on the environmental crisis and explains how the problem would have to be tackled:

Of course, the impact of an average person is too small to be the superhero that saves the whole world. Still, our personal contribution to the environmental crisis, the possibilities we have to make a change and our responsibility to protect the earth should not be overlooked. Therefore, it is necessary that we are aware of our own environmentally harmful behaviours and carbon footprint. Here is what you need to know about this topic:

Also, even if we might not have the power to make big changes in the first place, every small step is valuable and needed to make a large impact. So here is what you can do as an individual to save the environment:
