Question

Answer in 120 words:

Climate change is one of the most pressing global issues today, with rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and environmental degradation affecting life across the planet. While governments and organisations take action, it is equally important for the youth to understand their role and act responsibly toward a sustainable future.

As Anu/Aaray Mehta, Sunrise Apartment, Paninagar, write a letter to the editor of a national daily expressing your concern about climate change, emphasizing the role of younger people in combating it, and suggesting practical steps the youth can take to make a positive impact.

Answer 1

The Editor,

Subject: Youth action against climate change

Sir/Madam,

Climate change threatens our future with rising temperatures, extreme weather and environmental loss. Young people must act now: adopt sustainable habits, reduce single-use plastics, conserve energy, cycle or use public transport, support tree-planting and community clean-ups, advocate climate-friendly policies and educate peers. Schools and colleges should run awareness campaigns and skill-building projects like waste segregation, rooftop gardens and energy audits. By voting responsibly, volunteering with local NGOs and using social media to spread verified information, youth can pressure leaders and drive change. Small daily choices multiplied across millions will matter. I urge fellow youth to lead by example for a greener, fairer future.

Yours sincerely,
Anu Mehta
