Keeping yourself abreast of the latest news on the environment, not only helps you know what is going on around the world, but it bolsters your beliefs in the problem and the fact that there is no dearth of solutions; it just needs to be implemented vigorously. You get to know about so many famous, million-dollar companies, startups, NGOs investing in, and prioritizing sustainability. It also encourages you to do your part as well, when we see so many other people making dire efforts for our future.
We are scrolling through our social media accounts all day. Be it Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or even LinkedIn. So the easiest way (something which I rely on too), to keep yourself updated with the latest news on Environment, Climate Change, Pollution, Animal Protection, Conservation Laws is to bring all of this to your feed. So that even when you are just passing time spending hours on your phone, you are up-to-date with all the new happenings around the world. And the most important thing- always share an interesting piece of information that you come across, with your network
