After the first hour with them, I found them to be incredibly bright, smart and active – engaging in discussions and having a pretty good grasp of the climate crisis. When my friends and acquaintances found out that I had opened an eco-workshop at my school, they asked me if it was even worth it/if it made sense – I always answered yes without hesitation. I think that educating people about the climate crisis is hugely important and meaningful, as it is one of the biggest crises facing humanity. But the biggest reason why I decided to open an eco-workshop at my school is quite different – I often hear older people say things like, “Oh, the generation of today doesn’t know anything,” and the eco-workshop is exactly the means by which I have the opportunity to show the older generation the opposite. Many of them are completely unaware of how many great and useful ideas we have in our heads.
