The consequences of our wasteful ways of living are finally catching up and having a serious impact on the world. The state that we currently live in didn’t happen overnight, and, as such, we don’t need to go into a frenzy of change to repair the damage. Step by step, people can make a difference. That is how we ended up in our current environmental situation, and this is how we can overcome it. However, changing our habits is a required step for executing real change. How do we do this? Here are some ways you can act now to go green before it's too late. SustainabilityX magazine.

Although climate scientists have repeatedly shown that global surface temperatures have increased in the last decades and that human-induced emissions of greenhouse gases are to blame, ex-US president Donald Trump has always made it quite clear that he does not believe global warming is human-related.

As the year comes to an end, we thought to summarize Trump’s on-and-off teenage relationship with climate change (so far) that led environmental progress to ruin.

With environmental progress first hindered by a politician, then by the pandemic, what do we do now? Here is a list of what "not to do" to inspire you to take action in the new year before it's too late.
